Rules Question

I have a question about pushing/pulling rabbits. Is it against the rules to push/ pull an enemy rabbit backward? From experience with playing against my bot , it seems that pushing it backwards is allowed, but pulling is not (unless the moves were illegal for other reasons).

Hi laganojunior.
 
Both pushing and pulling a rabbit backwards is allowed.
Look at move 27w of my game against Badger for pulling a rabbit backwards. And move 30w for pushing one backwards.
 
In your game against jrarimaabot, your bot pulled a rabbit backwards at move 13w. There must be another reason why move 17w wasn't allowed. Do you know what move your bot tried to make? I can't see that while replaying the game.

I looked at the event logs for game 98446 and the move sent by the bot was: [Cf2n rg2w Cf3e rf2n]. It was rejected since it did not also have the final notation to remove the rabbit: rf3x; not because the rabbit was being pulled back.
