The rabbits turned out to be scratch and not cuddly at all. The run needed mucking out every morning and you can guess who ended shovelling the rabbit poo before work. We managed to give them away in the end. So I find myself agreeing with John Humphreys who got himself into hot water for suggesting the best place for a rabbit is a casserole. Or a pie John. A lovely crusty pie

What can anybody say other than that she's typical of irresponsible people far too much in the public eye and trying to get a rise out of her stupid, irresponsible comments. No doubt she'd have said the same about a family dog, exept that perhaps she wouldn't have wanted to eat it.

Various organisations work so hard to raise the profile - and all too often the plight - of pet rabbits. These pets are the third most popular in the country, yet how many have treatment as good as cats or dogs?

We hear of people who choose where they will be going on holiday based on whether or not they can take their family dog, because they don't want to leave it behind, they feel kennels aren't good enough, they'll quite simply miss it. Yet if they do the same about their pet rabbit, far too many people will say they are bonkers. No, they are not. The are caring, responsible owners who don't take lightly their relationship with their pet - and they are mocked and goaded, not only in private, but in the media by people like Ms Parsons and earlier in the week, John Humphreys, who I remember reading is a cat lover...perhaps he'd like some feline stew? No, of course he wouldn't, any more than pet rabbit owners would want, or more importantly would want to HEAR ABOUT eating rabbits.

These people are big on ego, big on mouthing off, but in consideration, in empathy....they lag way behind.

Rescue organisations, the Rabbit Welfare Association, the PDSA, the RSPCA, the Blue Cross and so many others all work so hard to improve things. We've seen videos released, results of surveys, campaigns, all aimed at making things better - rabbits really do deserve better - and then clowns like these do their utmost to undermine it all.

Funny? Not for one single minute.
