For most of us, our first thought of a rabbit is of the one we see in our yard or along the side of the road...

...or perhaps we think of a companion rabbit...

...or perhaps we envision a rabbit in a sanctuary enjoying a bagel with a friend; but this is not the life that millions of rabbits are forced to endure.

Reality

(Rabbit - Testing - 02)  Another Draize Test on rabbits in restraining devices (Liverpool, UK). The substance to be tested is poured into the rabbits' eyes and onto their skin, and left there for days until the organ becomes necrotic. This test was invented in 1944, and continues to be used, unaltered. It is one of the many demonstrations of how these practices are used purely due to inertia, because there is no real desire to evolve and use more moral and scientific methods.
