| After reviewing multiple papers the concussions I have drawn are, Hypnosis , and Tonic immobility are not the same thing as Calming inversion or the Roll used by Rabbit, Breeders , Judges and handlers .

| In multiple studies it has been stated that in order to "induce" Tonic immobility or trancing, a rabbit had to either either be Violently slammed and than be restrained on it's back by applying pressure to neck and chest, or flipping completely prostrate and have pressure applied to neck and chest. The common dementor being "pressure applied to Thorax" . more current studies who simply rolled the rabbit in the standard exam position concluded that in the vast majority of cases the rabbits cortisol was much lower then the rabbits examed in the standard upright position. The earlier studies from the 1970's focused on fear response and were specifically trying to induce a fear based state. This honestly tainted any results and opinions surrounding where simply rolling a rabbit was actually damaging to it. as evidenced anecdotally by the millions of rabbits a year who are shown in ARBA sanctioned events where a judge rolling a rabbit on it's back to do a health exam of every rabbit on the table has shown us , it is not the case that rabbits are any more stressed or in any danger. House Rabbit Society, PeTA and AR activists have pushed for years that the act of flipping a rabbit over will kill it or cause it to have a heart attack. I this was the case the death rate at ARBA convention would be extremely high, just this year in 2023, 24,000 rabbits were judged at our 100th convention and zero died from being examined. I would expect if the claims were true , the act of flipping a rabbit on it's back would not be part of the regular judging and exam process.
