Quote #10
"Oh, no, he wouldn't live shut up in a box. If he couldn't get out he'd soon die. No, I should let the poor chap go—unless you want to eat him." (48.48)
This is Doctor Adams (who, hey, has the same name as the author, whose own father was a doctor). Here Doctor Adams tells Lucy that wild rabbits have to live free lives, far from cellphone contracts. The only wild rabbit who got kept as a pet for a while was General Woundwort and we saw how that turned out. But Doctor Adams has a solution: let wild rabbits be wild and free—or eat them.
