I was asked by Save A Bunny to help out with a Rabbit Outreach project.  A local high school was having a ‘carnival day’ at their school and the organizer, a bunny owner herself, asked us to be there to help educate people about bunnies.  I could spend a good two pages writing about various misconceptions that people had about buns, what the 4-H there was doing wrong and so on but the thing is that, in the end, they learned new information about buns and that is what the outreach is about – it isn’t about judging people but educating them.

Now, my two buns were real troopers but were actually opposite in personalities at the outreach.  Maryann spent almost all of her time hiding in the cardboard house I had while shy Dono was out and about, raising his head up to any hand that came near him for pets.  Only when he was getting a good tooth-purr on did Maryann come out and want some too.  It was cold, windy and they just loved it.

In the end, I feel that we informed many, really made an impact upon 4 people directly involved with rabbits, got 2 new foster people and a possible 3 future buns adopted out (people who were ‘thinking’ about getting bunnies and after talking with us decided that they were for them).

I wanted to get some pictures but I have an old digital camera that burns out the batteries after 4 shots so it was dead that day.
