Rabbit and Owner - Ch. 7

[Itsn]

So the implications we're getting so far is that the world actually sees these creatures as being human like (but less than humans), but something that can still be sexually attractive... So why did they buy their son one as a pet? Why would anyone get one other than to be a servant/slave?

If his parents hated and thought so little of the rabbit people, why'd they get their son a rabbit person? The world building doesn't make too much sense so far.

Your mind would be so blown if you read about race mixing before the Civil war
