Young Bun
i wished to ask a question to the brc breeder, but wasnt allowed to in that topic. I do not wish to offend, but how can a rescuer of bunnies feel justified to breed more bunnies by adding to the problem?
The RSPCA issued a report 4 years ago, saying, that if ALL animals were to stop being sold in petshops and breeding stopped, there would still be enough animals to go round for the next 20 years!!
I realise you are "funded" if this funding was taken away would you still rescue? many rescues are unfunded, we do this off our own backs.
I also know the arguement for breeding, breeding from good stock etc,you wish to breed a good quality rabbit etc etc etc, but if there were fewer breeders then the rescue rabbits may find a home.
When you go into a sweetshop looking for a mars, bar, you dont leave with nothing if they dont have any, you find an equivelent surely?
There are thousands of rabbits put to sleep yearly due to the pressures from breeders, good and bad.
I cant for the life of me, figure out how someone can do both. If for a specific breed many of those breeds end up in rescues, for every rabbit bred, they are taking a home from one that is rescued?
#I dont wish to be offensive or ignorant, im just at a loss to understand.
