To leash or not to leash; why is this even a question?

So I joined a House Rabbit group on That Other Social Network, and all the folks there seem pretty nice, lots of squeeing over cute house bunnies and tips on keeping them healthy and happy, no problems there, all is sunshine and roses

ugh. the only reason we didn't/ don't harness our buns is that Holland chewed through his harness in about 15 seconds flat:P In our old place, where we could take them outside, we were always right there with them, and even then, i would've felt better if they were on a harness. But they enver ran off, and our neighbours were super great about not having their dogs out when we were. Now we're in an apartment, and i expect we'll take him out on the deck with careful supervision, but we're on the second floor, and don't really havre birds of prey here, so nothing can get him. As a kid, we lost our 2 buns when something got them out of their outdoor hutch/run:(

Regardless of all that, the reagion of the other people and the mods is ridiculous and not at all productive.:(

My buns hate getting the harnesses put on, but then they're all like, 'we're going outside/on an adventure!' They love being able to go play outside with me and my honey and meet all the new people that want to pet them. They're also incredibly friendly, so it's not too stressful for my two. I take them in their little pet stroller everywhere, if I can. They really like going on those mini trips

Overreaction I think
