Sound a *teeny* bit like an unethical practice to me...just my two cents...

Yes it totally is I agree!

I see. I thought about it in terms of making weight, but changing the physical frame is something else. I didn't think about it because I guess I would not breed a doe that did not carry the right body type anyway, narrow, by the time she was old enough to show, either she had nice wide typey rear or she was already culled.

I was not meaning that to be pointed at YOU, I was referring to those that do it regularly, KNOWING FULL WELL that they are masking a rabbit's true shape by showing them pregnant... :nono:

Not taken personally at all
It's amazing what people do to dogs, never thought about the things they do to rabbits I guess whenever competition is involved...

I don't understand why people cheat in competition. What is the point? How hollow a victory.

One of TCU's former university presidents once was quoted as saying:

"While losing fair and square is still losing, winning by cheating is the greatest form of defeat."
