I read it and it left me with mixed feelings. On one hand, I don't think it's neccesary a bad thing for someone to admit that rabbits aren't for them after all, that they are not giving their rabbits the best possible home and that the buns would be better off in a home where they are loved and wanted. On the other hand, it does seem to have an air of 'you know, it's OK not to want your rabbits anymore'. I personally found it very confusing. :?
The part that left me most irritated though was in the section about unrealistic expectations / unmet needs. Here the scenario is where someone had chosen a pet rabbit as a substitute for the dog they really want but can't find in their lifestyle. Part of this section reads:
'Dogs are wonderful but truly demanding pets. You certainly can't leave them for 24 (or even 12) hours with a litter tray and a pile of hay and greens!'
I know we have had this debate before and I have no wish to restart that, but I personally feel it would be very irresponsible for someone to leave a rabbit alone for 24hrs with a pile of 'hay and greens'. Rabbits and dogs are different pets - I do not believe that one is neccessarily an easy option over the other and I don't believe that it is wise for rabbits to be advertised as such.
