As some may know I volunteer under an Rescue and do all the rabbit home visits and most things rabbit.
When I do a home visit as well as gaining all the necessary facts I work on gut instinct too. So far, my gut instinct has always been ignored by the branch, yet every single one where I have raised concerns has gone wrong (like seriously, every single one, be with where the person has rehomed their rabbit and broken the contract, where the rabbits have been neglected severely, things like that). The Rescue has always just taken the accommodation facts, etc, and spoken to the person and not trusted my gut instinct, although it is always proving reliable.
I'm wondering whether other rescues or people who rehome or do the home visits do pay attention to gut instinct? and how that affects what you do?
I'm getting very fed up and demoralised with this rescue I have been working with and am not sure how much longer I will be with them. It's all pointless when they completely ignore what I have to say and they effectively ignore the home visit result and just listen to the person themself.
