Rabbits
Rabbits of some kind are indigenous to almost every continent. Historically, rabbits were used for sport [hunting], food, or fur. Eventually, rabbits evolved into pets and show stock. Today, rabbits can be used for hunting, meat, fur, or pets and can also be shown in fairs and shows around the world. Unfortunately, rabbits do what rabbits do and have become pests in some places.
Rabbits have been kept as pets for centuries, initially for their meat and fur. Over time, their cute appearance and gentle nature led to them being domesticated specifically for companionship. Today, rabbits are popular pets due to their social behavior, low maintenance requirements, and ability to bond with their owners.
Rabbits can be considered both pets and livestock. Some people keep rabbits as pets for companionship, while others raise them as livestock for food production or fiber (such as Angora rabbits for their wool). The categorization depends on how the rabbits are kept and the purpose for which they are raised.

Some do, some don't. Islam does not forbid the keeping of pets.

No, not all. Some, like dogs and possibly cats, should be, but not animals like gerbils and rabbits.
