I can't do it any more
I can't cope with the responsibility of playing life and death with such innocent, beautiful creatures every day. Who am I to play God with their lives, what if I am making mistakes, there is no turning back once I've made that decision.
It is harder enough when you know they are ill and their time is limited, but still you have to decide - is today the day. Do they want more time or are they suffering? But when you have nothing to go on and you still have to decided whether to end their lives......like I did today We would never let a bunny suffer and always put their well being above our needs, we want them to leave with dignity every time, but what if my judgement is wrong just once? I can't undo that
We decided a while back to have a break from taking bunnies in, and did cut back a lot. Toby was our last new bunny at the beginning of November and we only took him in because we were approached about him a lot earlier but it took awhile to rescue him. After the struggle in the snow we decided we were cutting back numbers permanently, but its not enough, we have to close our doors to new bunnies for good I cannot take in another sick bunny and look him in the eyes and know that in the next week or month/s I will be responsible for ending his life In the past 2 years we have lost 55 bunnies - thats more than 1 every 2 weeks for 2 years solid. And every day in between that I have to look at them all and decided today is not the day.
We still have 36 wonderful sanctuary bunnies who I will continue to love and care for.
Thank you to everyone who has supported us in the past and I hope you continue to support us while we care for the special bunnies who already share our lives xx
