Lol I've seen a lot of likes and dislikes about this and I'm sure a lot of people won't agree with what I say. But I'm going to say it anyway.
Rescue Buns
I would say this was the best place to get a bun, but where I am there are two small rescues, one is someone who takes in unwanted buns and piggies and tries to rehome them by selling them. The other is a cattery who takes in unwanted cats, dogs, rabbits, rats, guinea pigs, and other pets. She asks for donations but doesn't get a lot of bunnies in. So that sort of narrows down the choices sometimes.
Pet Shop Buns
A lot of people don't like buying pets fromt he pet shop, because it makes more space for them to bring in more bunnies. I understand that point of view for bad pet shops but then if we passed the bun by someone else would buy it and the petshop would be able to bring in that new bun. From what I've seen a lot of the buns coming into the rescuse are from owners who have either got bored of the buns or can't handle them. And if it's a good petshop who looks after their buns then what is the worry of taking a bun off them. There was a petshop near me, the owner made sure her buns and other animals where in pristine conditions, i did four weeks work experience with her. She would make sure people knew what they where getting into before selling her pets. I didn't think there was anything wrong with buying a bun off her
So where pet shops are concerned I think it depends on the shop and the situation the bun is in.
If the shop was a nice one and the owners made sure people knew what they where getting into I would leave the buns there.
But if there was a bun that looked miserable or sick or hurt i would not leave it there just because it's wrong to fund a petshop.
Breeders.
I do agree MOST of the time, not to get off a breeder. But there is no point saying don't get that bun off the breeder because but taking the bun off the breeder it gives them more space for breeding more. From my expericence with breeders, if they want more space they will make it one way or another. I'm not saying all breeders are like this because I have seen some people on here who have some nice looking kits, I'm just saying some of the time it wouldn't matter if you took the bun or not, if they wanted the roomt hey would make it. Even if it ment havign the buns PTS or "ringing their necks". I knew a breeder who was going to leave a bunny starve because they couldnt home it, at which time I took the bun. Would you say I was bad for that? Because I paid for the bun?
_____________________________________
I know alot of people won't agree with this and I will prolly get a lot of flaming, but I don't like the way some people over the past few weeks have got flamed for wanting to get a bun of a breeder or actually getting one.
I believe every bun should have a chance for a nice life no matter where it comes from! Whether it a rescue, petshop or breeder bun.
Thats all I have to say that my opinion and everyone else is entitled to theirs...
