My latest came from a rescue. Two out of my 6 do come from shops, and I know it's naughty, but sometimes I just think it's nice to get to a bunny
before it's been mistreated and abandoned for 6 months. I have four others not from the shops to make up for it, and I adore my little rescue buns, but the two little girls were very pretty and I just wanted them.
There was no way on Earth they weren't going to sell as they're gorgeous little things, and the shops themselves had them in good long runs, separated by sex and breed, plenty of water and hay and toys, so I don't feel that bad about it.
When I went out for my lionhead, my little boy Chips was in serious distress. His brother had died about a week before and he was incredibly distraught. There was a shortage of does in the area and I was more concerned about getting him bonded again than about the origin of the rabbit in question. I'm convinced that she saved his sanity, but she is completely evil and I very much doubt that she wouldn't have ended up abandoned herself.
With little Monopoly there were no noble reasons at all. She was just gorgeous and I couldn't resist. On the plus side, she's the reason we then went out and rescued Sheffield. So sometimes pet shops do have a silver lining.
