From the perspective of the rabbits in Cowslip's warren, this sacrifice is worth the loss: an exchange of its community members for lettuce, radishes, and carrots, as well as protection from harm. The community has adapted to this lifestyle, both in its policy of never asking "where" someone else is and living without making any deep ties. This is also something which is made evident by the poem recited by Cowslip: Where are you going, stream? Far, far away. Take me with you, stream. Take me on your dark journey. Lord Frith, take me far away, to the hearts of light. The silence. I give you my breath; my life. The silence. While dreary, it signifies the community's acceptance of fate and death. The poem's mention of a stream indicates the warren's concept of fate which, while it may not be immediately inescapable, is still inevitable.
