The judge is not hitting his bum, he is smoothing the hindquarters down, they're feeling the slope of the body to assess it's quality. Sometimes they are trying to push the rabbit's rump underneath himself. It's called posing, similar to how they have dogs stand at dog shows.
Very nice videos. I've sold several Jersey Woolies to Japan and Thailand. Some of its my best stock and now I regret it! haha. I hope they are doing well over there. ;)
These rabbits are not wild animals. They are "companion animal" for being able fate it to live with human, so human owes the serious responsibility for these animals' inheritance and breeding.
If you face your pets' genetic anomaly or congenital dystrophy, you can understand the meaning of the show for better breedings.
The rabbit that I had only a few days ago becomes cancer in the origin inherent abnormal, and has died.
Pardon me BUT, one of the issues with showing is to breed for a type. I think most breeders know little of what they are doing. They breed for type regardless of what issues the bunny may have. When you chance a rabbits basic morphology so it looks like a puppy, it is easy to get problems. I haven;t even mentioned in breeding (line breeding). Good grief!. I do NOT agree with rebeka, most breeders do not give a shit about anything but winning.
I am all for animal rights and I believe in my heart that animals need to be treated fairly. But on another note, I have been showing rabbits myself for 20 years and have never treated my rabbits with anything more than love and respect. Most breeders show rabbits not for the money, but the love of the animal. I don't believe the comment above is necessary. I feel you have beautiful rabbits and you should be proud of wha you do.
is it really necesary to treat animals like that? these animal shows should be forbidden - don't understand the sense behind this. Would you like to be treaten like this? They don't like what you are doing - can't u see this.
Is it just to gain some money? better you go to work and not using animals.
I was thinking of letting my bunny go in a show but then i saw how they handle them :'(
