Rabbits, despite their fluffy appearance, and generally good press, are a serious pest to farmers, as they eat crops (particularly grass), and damage fields. They have always been controlled by farmers, since they were introduced into Britain by the Romans. This rabbit however lives in the grounds of Salisbury Hospital.
