..........with baby bunnies?
Is it just me or have you seen many more baby bunnies in than normal recently. Whilst I don't go into pet shops, there is one (which is not good at all for bunnies) that has plate glass windows and keeps the bunnies in pens, on shavings, with unlimited mixed food, near the windows normally. I walked past last week to see indoor cages on top of the pens, full of new baby bunnies. Worse than that, they were all black ones so that even if they sell initially, when they (some of them) enivitably get given up, the chances of rehoming will be much slimmer than for bunnies who are 'pretty colours'
Call me old fashioned, but do any of you think that this is a cynical attempt to capture the impulse purchase market by parents of bored school kids looking for something to do in the holidays?
