Answer
Dear Chloe,

YOU are right.  Your bunny is sexually frustrated, and this will make him aggressive and humpy all the time.  I can appreciate that your dad identifies with the bunny, and doesn't like the idea of removing the testicles (men!).  But it's really for the good of the whole family.

Your bunny will calm down, and he will still be his affectionate self.  It's smart to have this important surgery done soon, before his aggression becomes a learned habit!

to be sure the operation is done safely.  

Hope this helps!
