A reference to a classic book published in 1937. In the book one of the main characters, "Lennie" murders a women by mistake because he had a mental disorder and she was trying to seduce him into doing sexual acts with her... its alot to explain.
tldr: She told Lennie to grab her hair, he grabbed too tight, she screamed to let
go, he paniced and killed her. So Lennies best friend, (another main character) George took Lennie to go see the rabbits i a forest by a body of
water so Lennie could be in a happy place before George
shot him in the back of the
head because he was worried Lennie would panic and
kill another person and get in even more trouble.
To "Go See The Rabbits" yourself or to take someone else to "Go See The Rabbits" could be subtly refering to
suicide, putting down a pet, or murder.
Example #1:
Random
Guy: "Life hasnt been going too
well... maybe i should go see the rabbits"
Example #2 (i wouldn't do this... sounds kinda fucked up):
"Maybe i should
go take (pet name) to go see the rabbits. he/she's getting very sick/old"
Example #3:
"If you dont shut up im gonna go take you to see the rabbits!"
