Why Rabbits?

Why rabbits? For me, rabbits were easier to get than chickens. I still live within city-limits, and I kept getting a run around with clicking through links to try to get the application to get chickens. But no-where in city ordinances are rabbits mentioned. And I'd much rather do something without the government trying to stick it's nose in the middle of it. Another reason is that my family really doesn't eat eggs. Sure I'll eat them if I have them, but they aren't a staple in our diet at this point in our lives.
