I am sure you will all agree with me when I say that we have something very special and very powerful in this forum.
How can we use this to *try* and improve things?
I have been doing a lot of thinking recently (and yes, it did hurt!) about the plight of rabbits (and guinea pigs) and what I can do to help.
As one person, it is very hard to make an impact but as a collective, such as this forum, I think we can get our point across.
What do you guys think? Setting up our own petitions to improve welfare standards in pet shops (better/bigger accomodation, to cease the use of wood shavings, for pet shops to start vaccinating bunnies before they leave the shop...)
I have come to realise that we will not 'beat' the pet shops (i.e. get them to stop selling animals) so why not join them? (improve the standards for the animals in their care).
I know I may be being a bit too optimistic and unrelistic but, with a group of so many people fighting for the same cause, it must be able to be used for something?
