Another theme in The Rabbits is the disrespect of native culture. The Rabbits blatantly disrespect the marsupials to a great extent, disregarding the fact that Australia is their home and is important to them. They wreak environmental havoc, fight wars against them, and even go so far as to steal their children.

This shows how settlers wishing to colonize a country are often very insensitive and sometimes cruel to the people native to said country. Settlers, in history, have done terrible things to native people, and The Rabbits shows us this.This message shows us what has happened in the past and also acts as a warning, showing us that we shouldn't make the same mistakes. Colonization has caused the near extinction of many indigenous cultures, and The Rabbits shows us this, allowing us to empathize for these cultures and gain a deeper respect through our empathy.
