Buying instead of rescuing.

...I just saw this on someone's instagram I follow. Someone else had commented on their picture of their bun they rescued to bond with their other rabbit.

"Yh I'm not gettin a rescue one coz yu have to have 2 an I only want one so I'm buyin it. Don't hav to have some ugly big huthc an run for it then haha!"

:shock: :cry: If that is the mind set of everyone, no wonder there are so many going into rescues every year:cry:

..why do I have to care so much :( it frustrates me :evil::( ...and I hate text speak :evil:
 
That is horrible! Some people just don't care really do they!!

So where do they plan n keeping this rabbit if they are not planning on buying an 'ugly big hutch and run' for the rabbit?! Very sad!!

She had a black lash off the girl who had originally posted which I enjoyed reading!

I imagine some 4ft number to make sure it doesn't take up too much space :(

I joined a 'rabbits for sale in nottinghamshire' page on facebook that I came across the link to and it astounds me :( breeders selling off bunnies for £5 or £10 and dont care where they are going to...alot of 'need rid asap' ones aswell...breaks my heart :( Pics of them all in tiny filthy cages too :(

:( I just wish they would stop, there is no point in them breeding/selling more because it just means more being turned away from rescues and more rescues being hard pushed :( I'm sure they could do without that £5 :? :( :evil: selling stuff on eBay would be an easier way of making money rather than creating a rubbish life for these animals :( they could have a good life but.. Not many are educated in their care, or even.. Care!
 
But we keep swimming! :thumb:

When I was looking into having Spenser, I was under a fair bit of pressure to get a baby rabbit from a breeder, but I resisted. I didn't know any rescues then, but Spenser was rehomed not bought. Even now, some people think that I would have more bunny cuddles if I had gone for a baby bun. I know this isn't necessarily true, and love my boy just as he is - stubborn, spoilt and very much ruling the roost!
