How do rescues feel about people taking bunnies/piggies from the free ads? Louise is asking for a big bunny on one thread, and in response to a copy paste of some free ads bunnies in need of a home, she says she'd prefer a rescue bunny to a free ads bunny.
Now the bunnies advertised in the copy paste are clearly in grave danger, whereas the bunnies in rescue are safe - so how do rescues feel about this? Clearly every animal homed from the free ads is one less home on offer for a rescue's animals - When I think that I said I was up to my limit with 6 rabbits...and now...I seem to have exceeded that limit 3 times over with the free ad piggies, but my first thought at the time was I HAD to act immediately as they were in danger, whereas when I adopt from a rescue it's never on impulse as I know they are safe in the first place, so it's carefully considered - probably too carefully?
