        Today, I was on Instagram, and there were all these bunny people with posts about stopping the Mississippi Rabbit Scramble. I learned more about it, and I was horrified. Apparently, it’s a “fun” event where children (four-year-olds and younger) run and try to CATCH RABBITS! BY THE EARS! It’s disgusting! Many rabbits struggle and break their backs, many are violently handled… and the adults stand by smiling and watching! Encouraging this behavior! This is terrible. I’m not trying to make an advertisement, and I’m sorry if this is in the wrong section, but I needed to spread this. You can sign the petition to STOP this event at //www.change.org/p/mississippi-governor-please-stop-the-tippah-county-ms-fair-rabbit-scramble . They need 419 more signatures to stop this event.Please help! I’m sorry if this is considered an advertisement, but I felt it was important to share and help.

          Wow… what degree of stupidity is required for people to think this is a good idea? Why is this event even scheduled in the first place?

          I’m kind of disgusted that there are still people in this country who have no sense of what animal cruelty is whatsoever. But alas, there is just still that much stupid existing today.

          Hope we can all quickly sign it up to the maximum number. :\

                  I don’t think it matters if you’re a minor, I think they just need signatures…

                                I saw this on Facebook a couple of days ago and signed the petition then. My husband also signed it. It’s horrible to even think about it and I hope it will be stopped.

                                    Woah, that’s horrible. Those poor buns… I just thought about either of my rabbits racing along, darting from place to place, running for their lives… Never should this happen.

                                        I hope that all of us animal lovers (and just people with a decent set of ideas about non-cruelty and stopping animal abuse) can help this terrible event. Thank you for signing. I wish that the world was better towards with humans and animals… Some of the things that we humans do to each other and to our companions make me sick.

                                          My husband and I signed it. I also shared it on Facebook.

                                          People are so stupid!

                                              I have a stupid question, but how does getting a certain number of signatures stop the event? I understand that if it becomes widely known that people disagree with the event then they might think twice about hold the event but how does getting x number of signatures stop it?

                                                The petition goes to a number of organisations and political people (as listed under the description of the event). The more signatures that are on the petition, the more notice they will take and will be more likely to listen. If someone approached them with a petition with 200 signatures on it, they won’t take much notice, but if you have 30,000 or 100,000 people opposed to something, you’ve gained some big attention and it’s in their best interest to review the event otherwise those 100,000 people can cause an even bigger stir about it. The more signatures, the more power behind it.

                                                  I think that it’s about 50,000 signatures or more to stop an event.
