Young Bun
i am really upset at what i have seen my next door neighbour just do, they have two rabbits, around aged two and a bit, and just by chance i glanced out of my bedroom window and happened to see him lift out the big white one , it has somehow died, and he just shoved it into a black binliner and he has now put it upside down in the compost bin :evil::evil: how can people be so cruel and heartless, their poor rabbits had a terrible life, they were both shut inside a smallish hutch for most of their lives, and rarely got let out, cleaned out or any attention, i am wondering if she has died of anything contagious as i am now panicking and really worried about my 7 bunnies, my bunnies are ALL fully vaccianated and jabbed on time ,i hope they will be ok, and not catch anything, i am also wondering what has happened to the other little agouti rabbit they got them from p@h just over two years ago, they were both unvaccinated and uneutered and rarely got any attention once their 3 daughters lost interest after about a week, they never got handled , checked or cuddled, and sometimes i think they forgot to feed them they were originally in an even smaller hutch and when they never cleaned that out the wood rotted and their staffie riped the wire off so they just binned that and got another one ,it just makes me so sad that i have just seen the man treat the poor rabbit with no respect or dignity, his daughter was stood beside him crying , but he just got a black bin bag and shoved it in!!, and told her to "shut up you are doing my head in" only then realised what he was doing and couldn't quite believe what i had seen , very heartless, but they aren't very nice people, he didn't even wrap her in a towel or blanket just straight into a sack, and then head first into the bin, words fail me and if i hadn't seen it myself i wouldn't believe people could do this, it is still in the bin by our fence, i don't know what has happened to the other rabbit if that has also died or if that one is ok, the mesh on the hutch is damaged so i am wondering if perhaps the rabbits escaped and their dogs got it, hurt it or maybe the shock scared her to death, she was a white rabbit , and as he picked her up, i couldn't see any sign of trauma or blood, so i don't know if the dogs got her or perhaps chased her and scared her, a few months ago they got a staffie puppy , and she has been very interested in them , they have an elderly yorkie too but he isn't bothered with the rabbits but i don't know if the puppy has got out with the buns and chased them, i thought it was only a matter of time before something happened,again with the puppy the novelty has already worn off and she is shut in the kitchen most of the time and hardly ever walked , they never walked the yorkie or the other staffie they had before. she didn't seem to have any wounds or discharge, but was very stiff so i don't know long she had been like that, or how long it took them to notice, what was also strange , early this morning they were all out there , apparently cleaning them out, which is almost unheard of, they hadn't been cleaned out for literally weeks!! so i did think that a was a bit strange, but didn't think anything more of it, until i just happened by chance to see what he has just done, i was so shocked, i would never do that to any animal, and can't quite believe it, i was the same age as his daughter when my first rabbit died, i found her myself and was hysterical and screaming ,my dad handmade a coffin, and we buried her with respect and dignity and have done with all of my bridge small furries, we always wrap them in fleeces and towels/blankets with hay , i even buried one of my girls in my coat as she was always biting holes in it, and always plant a plant/flower for them all
so now, i am trying to keep an eye out to see if the other rabbit is well and ok or not, as i am really worried in case it is myxi or vhd i hope not , mine are all jabbed so i pray they will all be fine and also, i want to see what they do with the poor departed bunny in the bin and how long they leave her there for and what they do with her sorry for the long post but i have never seen anybody actually just dump their child's pet like that and i am actually quite appauled and sickened by what i saw, i knew they were nasty people but i didn't expect them to do that!! it is just something i would never dream of doing so i am struggling to see why anyone could do this, i know other bunny lovers on here would understand being upset by this to so felt i had to post this to share rip bunny next door and sorry she had such a bad life i just *hope * they do not get any more rabbits, as i heard the youngest child shout get another rabbit , get another one!!:evil::evil: which is unfortunately exactly the kind of thing they would do!!:evil:
