I know we are all very focussed on helping rabbits the best we can...I certainly am. I am just a bit concerned that advice can sometimes come across as misleading or scary (I am guilty of this). It is beacuse we are all so passionate about buns.
The article that was published in the Independant for example (in another thread). It is a lazy article for sure and I cringed through the whole thing. The journalist should have researched thoroughly befoe writing this blase piece.
A lot of people are not educated enough and, I feel, a lot of the blame lies with Petshops. I think we should work with petshops rather than against them. I don't think that petshops will ever stop selling animals, not in the near future anyway. Some of them have got better but I would like to see them promoting neutering more etc.
I just feel that, sometimes, our advice (mine included!) can feel off putting. Obviuosly, we want to avoid people getting rabbits on a whim, of course!!! But there is a fine line between directing those people and putting genuine people off.
It's really annoying as I know what I mean but it doesn't sound the same on here as it does on my head. I REALLY am not having a go at ANYONE as I have the same goals as the rest of you and I think you are all some of the most amazing people in the world. I am just trying to think of as many ways as possible to try and help our poor furry friends.
Please don't slate me
