1. Over the next few weeks, thousands of people will be tempted to buy an Easter rabbit for a beloved child. And a few months from now, our local animal shelters will be inundated by a flood of cast-off bunnies. The All Creatures Rescue asks that everyone who is considering buying a rabbit this year stop and think about two important facts:
First, rabbits are naturally fragile and timid. An active child who expects a cuddly pet can easily terrify or even injure a rabbit.
Second, a well cared for rabbit should live as long as large dog (ten years or more) and will require just as much attention and veterinary care. So don’t give an Easter rabbit to a child unless you want to make a decade-long commitment.
If you want to make someone's Easter happy, don’t give a live rabbit unless you know it will be loved and cared for throughout its natural life. If there’s any doubt, give a stuffed or chocolate bunny instead.
2. Please stop lying to your children and making them believe that a bunny lays eggs, much less that are made of chocolate or that they give a good god damn enough to bring the candies to them.
