I just called up our local rescue centre to get advice on vaccines,spay and help with vets bills and the woman on the fone gave me a VERY stern talking to!
She wasnt happy when I said id got our bun from a breeder (which i can now understand why) she went onto tell me how many buns are destroyed cos of the lack of people wanting them and how buns are taken to the local park and dumped and left for " dogs to rip apart"!
She told me that mini lops arent " natural" cos of the way they were bred to look cute and how the shape of their noses causes probs,as well as their ears and she sed something about way back wen the breed was being "manufactured" their skulls would of been damaged to create the floppy and place their ears are!
I feel so bad now......if id known about the rescue centre I may of gone there instead of getting bun from where we did, but i didnt so I cant change that, but all the other info she bombarded me with has made me feel POO....she has said I can get help for the spay she needs but made a BIG point of saying how they pick up the rest of the bill,which made me feel bad for asking them for help.
Im so pleased she is sending the voucher out to me and that i dont have to see her face to face.
She ended the call by saying " if you see the breeder u got the rabbit from, tell her I HATE HER" she also called them "scum of the earth".............I can understand her passion for rescuing buns and not being keen on breeders,but did she need to be SO scary???
