It was just as Robert aimed his gun at one of them, that it collapsed, curled up, and started shivering, as if sick with something.
"That's not normal," he said, lowering the gun.
"Is it poison?" James asked.
"Possible," said Robert.
"It's not the only one," said John. "Look."
All around them, the rabbits collapsed, curled up, and started shivering.
Robert had a look on his face. "I don't like seeing things suffer like this." He aimed his gun at one, when something strange happened.
The rabbit started growing.
"Um, does this mean that we won't need as many to have a meal for supper?" James asked.
"I wouldn't chance eating something that ate those plants and started acting like this," said John.
"You make a very good point," said Robert.
He aimed at one of them, easily the size of a human, when it stopped shivering, uncurled, and looked at him.
"What's going on?" it asked, in a female voice. "Why are you pointing that at me?"
John blinked. "That's interesting." He looked around, and saw the various rabbits looking at them. Intelligence was in their eyes. He got closer to Robert. "I don't think that it would be a good idea to shoot them. I'm sure that shooting intelligent rabbit-like creatures without the proper licenses is against the law, much like human poaching is."
"You make for another point," Robert said, as he lowered the gun. "Besides, might want to figure out what's going on."
"Might be another market we could-" James started to say, just as John grabbed his muzzle.
"Might be a good idea to not talk about that sort of stuff," John muttered. "They might not like the idea - still don't like it myself."
"What's going on?" the strange rabbit said, as she started to stand.
