That's the point. They don't have the capabilities to know why you're hurting them.
And hurting them is just gonna make them more fearful, which means more biting.
I never said to praise them for biting.
I said don't physically punish them, because they can't understand why they're being punish, or why what they're doing is wrong.
Yeah, we might 'all do things different.' But with some things, there's a right way and a wrong way.
And physical punishment s the wrong way.
And if you love them 'so so much' why do you think hurting them is acceptable?

Flip the rabbit on its back? What!? Do you know how dangerous and terrifying that is for the rabbit??

Yeah this I don't get either... I've never known flipping a rabbit to be inherently dangerous or frightening. It's a matter of handling/mishandling... If you do it some really weird way then maybe they'll get hurt but we wouldn't be flipping thousands of rabbits over to check teeth, gender and nails if it was unsafe.
Like I said, convention. Thousands and thousands if rabbits... If we didn't realize "how dangerous and frightening that is to the rabbit," how is it possible that out of ALL those rabbits and ALL the other shows I've been to, plus the three conventions I've attended, not a single one has been hurt from flipping it on its back, not even a breed with as wild a reputation as a Checkered giant?
Anyway I suggest we move away from this topic. Rabbit show jumping. That's a good topic, speaking of convention. Gonna train mine for show jumping~
