Page 4 | Rabbit rescue targeted by TRAs

ItsCoolForCats · 2025-06-02T14:29:19+00:00

I saw Rosie Duffield tweet about this the other day. A charity that rescues rabbits has been coming under attack from TRAs. I'm not entirely sure what their 'crime' is; I think it's to do with an account they have followed. Which makes them actual Nazis of course 🙄 This is their X account. They (and the bunnies) could do with some support [[https://x.com/carrotcottagerr https://x.com/carrotcottagerr]]

My little male Netherlands Dwarf falls in love with every girl he meets, rabbit, human, my dog, he’s not fussy. As long as they are female. 😍

What a shitty thing to do to people rescuing rabbits, the most neglected and ill treated pet according to every vet I speak to. I’ll be following them.

I didn't know that! Poor rabbits 😡 I've been a fan since my mother read meWatership Down. Still getting the short end of the stick...

My dear Lord, how absolutely mind fucked do you have to be to think that a tiny little bunny rescue could somehow influence enough people to stop the TRA movement in its tracks. Paranoid or what!

So sorry for all the transpeople and non binary thinkers who have been so mortally traumatised by a tweet made by the bunny charity. Honestly, how would you manage to get out of bed in the morning knowing the universe is collaborating with poorly bunnies and setting such evil man person traps to target you and upset your day, must be awful to know that your entire existence is only sustained by keyboard warriors scouring the internet to protect your specialness from harm.

Well done to the bunny rescuers for their gentle and good humoured response to such nastiness, good to know there are such lovely people in the world.

I thought it was them retweeting James Dreyfus’s support that kicked it all off. But whatever.

That looks more like a hare in the medieval illustration. Let’s not get the hares involved.

No real woman would try to destroy an animal sanctuary.

I watched Watership Down when I was about four and was so traumatised I haven't seen it since. IIRC, some of those bunnies were bloody terrifying. Have we considered that one of them has found the password and is accessing right-wing accounts on Twitter?

General Woundwort gave me nightmares.

When I was 5, my mum took to a Panto of wizard of oz at our local tiny arts place. Dorothy was ill, so they showed a film instead. Watershed Down was not a good choice for small kids......

Maybe a rabbit called A. Hopler ?

I doubt anyone checked 7000 accounts by hand. They'd just grab a list of who someone follows and cross ref with a list of wrongthink accounts. It would be trivially easy to write a short script to do that.

I'm sure there's plenty of scripts like that floating around that just get run every time the TRA pile on finds a new victim.

I'm sure you're right. It backfired spectacularly on them this time though, to the extent that they appear to have given up and gone away to find an easier victim.

Tbh I think they made the mistake of assuming a bunny sanctuary would be run by a woman/women who could be bullied into apologising rather than a man. Im
sure they assumed fluffy bunnies = woman thing

Edited

Yes, I thought this.

But who goes through someone's 7000+ follows/followers so forensically that they can find a dodgy account like this in the first place? The rescue charity had a policy back then of automatically following back anyone who supported them. They've learned the hard way that sometimes this isn't a good idea.

IIRC it was a dodgy account that you wouldn't want to follow and they made the mistake of simply following back without scrutinising its tweets.

Who deems anything 'dodgy' and something you 'wouldn't want to follow'?

Ah, see, the mistake they made there is forgetting to centre and prioritise those who identify as Most Special Vulnerable and Oppressed.

And then James Drefus posted about them and of course he's on the hate list....

Thanks. So a bit thoughtless/careless, but nothing more sinister.

Was it a genuine Far-right account, or was it an 'I disagree with them, so they are Far-right' account?

As I (mis?)understand what's happened, initially someone spotted that Carrot cottage rabbit rescue were following a Far Right account on Twitter, they were attacked for that, while they were trying to explain that this was simply them not being careful enough, someone then applied a purity test of asking them to confirm their adherence to genderism, and they explained they were just a bunny sanctuary and didn't want to entangle themselves in a contentious political issue. At that point an Antifa-type attack morphed into a trans activist-type attack. (Obviously there's a lot of overlap being the mobs involved.)

If I've got that wrong I'd welcome being corrected.

As far as I can tell you have it correct yes.

PruthePrune · 09/06/2025 11:04

Trans activism at it's most unhinged malice

Ereshkigalangcleg · 09/06/2025 10:54

These people don’t like being thwarted. Narcissistic rage.
