Why are dogs aggressive to rabbits?

Because that's the natural order of things: rabbits are prey and dogs are predators.

Not all dogs are aggressive to rabbits, though. Pet rabbits and dogs have been known to get along very well (although they should never be left alone together, no matter how well they behave: too many rabbits have been lost that way).

Some dog breeds tend to be more aggressive towards rabbits than others.
