Hi
I have been looking for a new bunny to bond with my boy since I lost his wifey last month, but all the rescues near me have only males or bonded pairs. So, I usually stay off free add sites as it is too upsetting for me but, have noticed a free add for a bun in a tiny hutch, "kids not playing with her any more" usual story. I know there are so many buns like this but this little one is sat next to the mesh of the hutch and her body takes up half the space in the hutch. She looks so sad and I feel a huge pull to try and help her. (She doesn't look like she even has hay )
The thing is the lady giving her away is also selling the hutch and accessories (which looks like just a dirty water bottle and bowl) for 30 quid - I'd be surprised if anyone would pay that tbh. The hutch barely looks 3 foot long and is horrible.
So my ethical conundrum is, if I do get this bunny, do I also buy the hutch and dispose of it correctly so no animal is subjected to it, or would that count as paying for a rabbit and be wrong? I am completely against selling animals for profit but hate the idea of this hutch ending up with someone else, along with her recommendation that it is great for rabbits. Any one have any thoughts?
