        Hi all !

        I dont know if I am being too much, but this guy added me as a friend, he is another bunny lover, and started out with 1 or 2 rabbits as pets   BUT then decided to breed them. now he has a fair few rabbits, and breeds them and shows them, and expecially breeds as many as he can for easter profit. I probably sound like a mean old lady, but now he is selling the rabbits that wont breed for him as well, and it just plays on my mind. Is it still ok to stand up for what I believe in? For the bunnies? I dont know if I should just give him a break, but he makes me SO MAD!

              he wont. he only views them as money making machines.

              how can someone be so irresponsible? >

                      I don’t normally start trouble like that. It just makes me mad too. Our pet store where I live sold over 60 bunnies for Easter! Oh, and you bet the breeders were all over that too! That’s why I bought a meat rabbit. Of course, I don’t use him for that! He is my pet and will be always. I just bet that half of those rabbits are being neglected, sold or released! It makes me want to puke! Where I live, there are A LOT of people who do exactly what the man on facebook is! Except a lot of poeple are feeding thier dogs RAW now! They buy baby bunnies from breeders so they can feed them to thier dogs. How sad. I think I am going to stick with New Zealands just because of what people use them for. Scientific Animal testing and meat.

                          I think a lot of people breed them to feed thier dogs. I was looking up bunnies on You Tube and accidentally came across it. It was sad. Some buy them already skinned, some let thier dogs kill them. I wasn’t thrilled that I watched it. I had just never heard of that before.

                            I didn’t know very much about rabbits at all, then I got one and I am doing research on the New Zealands and it’s not what I want to be reading. I knew he was a “meat” rabbit but I didn’t know that they were that popular for that. Needless to say, I can’t find a whole lot of info about New Zealand house rabbits I just couldn’t see anyone eating something so sweet. I guess you have to take the bad in with the good.
