Dumped Sick Rabbit..........WHY!!

Jack's-Jane

Wise Old Thumper
Its happened AGAIN.
Someone left a box containing a VERY sick (mouth breathing) rabbit on my doorstep sometime between 6.00-630PM.
Spoke with Vets and was loading Bun into car when he died :cry:
WHY DID THE PEOPLE WHO DUMPED HIM NOT RING MY DOORBELL !!

Maybe it would not change the outcome BUT........

Made a complete fool of myself on the phone to the Vets to say I would not be coming down after all. I was crying so much I am suprised they could understand me :oops:

I feel so, so sad

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

I'm so sorry for you and the bun.

I guess the person felt very guilty about what they had allowed to happen to that bun and didn't want to be seen "running away" from your front door - that's how selfish and irresponsible they are.

I with I could say something to make you feel better. :cry:
 
Oh no Jane, not again :cry: Binky free little bunny, at least he knew he was loved for those last precious moments :cry:
 
That's so awful for you and the poor little bun Jane. People just astound me sometimes.
 
My house is so overlooked and I am well known as the 'eccentric with all the rabbits'.
So people assume that if they leave a Bun on my doorstep he/she will be OK. But if I dont know Bun is there how can I help!!

I am now going to get a sign done saying. 'If you are leaving a Rabbit on my doorstep PLEASE RING THE BELL. I just need to know the Bun is there'

I was so glad the Vet nurse I spoke with was so supportive as my lack of head-meds means I am not best equiped to 'cope' just now :oops: :cry: :cry:

There are no words to sum up these people (non that i can use on here anyway). Sorry you had to go through that Jane.
Binky free little bun x
 
Jane - that is horrific! ((hugs))

I was horrified when I was at the RSPCA that many of the rabbits had been dumped outside the gates too, and there where even a few that had been found loose in supermarket car parks!

I wish it was much more difficult to get an animal but sadly it isn't, and too many people get them (including horses!) without having a clue how to look after them or what their needs will be...

Shooting is too good for some people!

What stupid stupid people!! :x :x
I'm so sorry you had to deal with that Jane, poor little bun :cry:
 
ohhh jane . i asked myself the same question when someone dumped hope on my doorstep . lucky for her i found her just in time .

i cant understand why they go to the trouble of taking them to someone and then walk away without making sure that some one knows :evil:


poor bunny :cry:

I'd hate for people to think that you're the dumping ground for all the rabbits they can't be bothered with, but maybe you should put a sign up or something... could it be any worse than people dumping next-to-death rabbits on your doorstep and leaving them for you to find?

I'm so sorry, that must have been horrible, especially considering your situation with the meds :( :(. Binky free little bun :( .
 
Was it a little boy or a little girl! We have to give little one a name.

It's not fair that they expect you to deal with things like that, they were obviously aware it was in a bad way and probably left it there to die. I hope they feel very guilty for not getting help sooner.
You may not want to put a sign on the door, it will just encourage people hun x

But if they are gonna dump them anyway isn't it better that I know ASAP :? :?

If they dump a Bun mid-evening I am unlikely to know til the next morning unless they ring the bell.

Oh I dont know..... :? :( :?

I think if somewhere cares little enough about their rabbit then they will dump it anyway - somewhere. I don't think the sign would encourage anyone to do it - most people wouldn't consider abandoning their pet at all.
Try not to feel bad Jane - there was nothing you could have done.
 
Poor, poor bunny, hope the people that left it like that rot in hell. :evil:

Don't feel guilty, Jane, you couldn't have done anything to change the outcome.
