well just calm down and talk to your sister and tell her how you feel and that what she said about your bun (her bun) really hurt. we all know what a special bun Luna is

For us that love our bunnies, or any animal, so deeply, it is very difficult to understand how anyone can say things like that. My animals are my furry little babies and I would do anything for them. You are lucky to have such a wonderful bond with your bunny. I think people that don’t love animals are really missing out on something special.

If she meant it, and didn’t just say it out of anger, then your sister clearly doesn’t know what it’s like to truly love a bunny – which makes it her loss. Big time.
Try to tell yourself ‘it is what it is’ and take comfort in the amazing bond you have with Luna.

I have a sharp tongue so what I would say to an ugly comment like that would be hideous. If it helps. I think it has to do with the way people mentally organize the people and things in the world around them. Class #1: Those who create a hierarchy, with themselves as close to the top (or the bottom!) as they can get it. Class #2: Those who see things more dynamically and equally.
Humans are at the top of the food chain, so if you have a very simplistic worldview and attach a lot of meaning to hierarchies, you probably don’t think a rabbit is worth a second thought. Class #2 is closer to reality, in my opinion. Being at the “top” of the “food chain” is not a great paradigm for how the ecosystem interacts. As an example, a Class #1 type person likely doesn’t think about bees much, or doesn’t care about them despite having probably heard about colony collapse disorder. They probably wouldn’t buy it if you told them that this has probably caused $1trillion USD of damage to crops by now, but it is so. I’d just love to be on the top of the food chain without food, wouldn’t you?
Maybe it’s just me, but if your sister is more of a 1, she may be the one with the problem. Otherwise, she may just know what to say to push your buttons.

People that say animals are ‘just’ animals in that tone don’t deserve to have animals. So thank goodness your sister gave Luna to you. You can obviously give her a far better home than your sister could.

Those types of people just aren’t animal people. I think similar things about human children lol. Only difference is I’d never have children in the first place and then decide I don’t care for them…

I just don’t understand why some people don’t ‘get’ that a life is a life and should be respected. No life – human or animal should be disregarded. Saying a rabbit is ‘just a rabbit’ is pretty disgusting actually. Thankfully most people on here thoroughly care for their rabbit

She only said this because she knew it would get you riled up (if she really feels that way about Luna is a different question). Don’t let her comments rattle you, since that’s exactly what she’s trying to accomplish. I wouldn’t dignify something like that with a response.

Ooooooh…. I woulda been miffed!

Sisters are great, I have one to, but they aren’t always on the same page as us. We can’t choose siblings but we can choose friends

I’m glad Luna is under your guardianship, now that she is YOUR bunny and yours alone, she will get the love, respect, and consideration she deserves! Luna isn’t your offspring but she is your child.

My parental units had a conversation one day that was relayed to me that relates to this: I was carpooling a 3 hour drive to my grandmother’s 90th bday party with my parents. It was the night before and Georgie wouldn’t eat. First time ever and we did everything we were supposed to. We seemed out of he woods but, come the next morning, I had to be 2 places at once. To my parents house to catch my ride and the vet office to make sure Georgie was okay. I was at the vet office, waiting outside, before the doors even opened.
After buns got a clean bill of health I was off to my parents. We were just over a hour late to an all afternoon celebration. My father was irritated that he had to be late to his mother’s 90th party and said so to my mom. Mom told him to bite his lip, and this is why:
I love Georgie like a child. As her fur parent she is my responsibility. She isn’t just a bunny. She is the coolest, most awesome f*ing bunny that ever mammal’d their way into my life. As family we are supposed to care for each other; Dad for me, me for Georgie, so that’s nonlinear Dad for Georgie. If there rest of our family doesn’t understand why we are late -you darn well know your 90 year mother will set them straight – this family edict comes from the top. Granddaughter had a family emergency…… BOOM! (Woulda been the end of it)

Reason you’re sad is because Luna was getting family RESPECT. Sad that sis never saw her as FAMILY when we, us Binky Bunny peeps, know that buns want family just as much as we do.

Sorry about that argument. Got any grandparents that can shake your sister?
