Wise Old Thumper
I'm always banging on to anyone that will listen, or even if they wont!, about the awful deal that rabbits get with regard to their care.
We had rabbits when we were younger but my Mom was never really that interested in them although she did feed/clean them out when we were unable to.
However, she now visits petshops and always goes to see how the rabbits are being kept and has a "discreet" word if she doesn't think they are being housed very well. Since seeing how I keep Louie, and the others before him, she really has had her eyes opened to how rabbits really should be kept
The family all came over at the weekend and my niece, who is 18, was saying to her Mom how much she would love a houserabbit. I piped up with how it's much nicer for them to be freerange blah blah, really got a discussion going between us all
I told my Mom on Wednesday about Louie's eyes and she was really upset, his welfare really does seem to matter to her
I just wanted to say really that what we say CAN make a big difference to how people perceive rabbits and I'm really happy that what I have said over time has made such an impact on my family members
So, the moral is, keep doing what we are doing
