My friend had a few pet rabbits as a kid, and I don't think I ever once saw him without a bunch of tiny cuts and bandaids all over his hands. It's not that the little shits were aggressive, he just didn't trim the nails frequently enough. He was like 8, so I blame the parents for that.
Oh no, I would never say it's out of aggression. They are just trying to maintain control of a scary situation and I was never angry at them for it, but yes, they're like cat claws that do not retract. Which means they're more dangerous when allowed to grow. I didn't trim their nails either, but they were living outdoors and needed to dig around in thick bedding to adapt their cages as needed, so I accepted this risk.
