Believe it or not I've found another Sunday Herald article dissing rabbits. This one is by some muppet who thinks us bunny lovers are OTT.
He also thinks he's hilarious making jokes about rabbit pie. Hmmm, not heard that 'joke' a million times before. :evil:

how weird - what was even the point of him writing that article? its not like it contained any news...or any information..or even anything to set you thinking. other than the thought "never buy the sunday herald" that is.
It's probably a case of 'it's not what you know, it's who you know' :?

What is it with this paper? Has the editor had a bad experience with a rabbit? Why else would you publish yet another pointless article?

Just left a message to say that her attitude is why we need Rabbit Week.
Also from the picture of her link found her e-mail and sent the following
"Get your rabbit to someone who will look after it properly. From your article you obviously can't."

The author has now posted a comment:
I would like to point out that this was intended as a light hearted column about the fact that, however much your children seem to want a pet, you cannot guarantee that they will fully engage with it. At no point did I say that our rabbit is ill treated, or that I would consider throwing him from a moving car. I have kept rabbits since I was a very young child and know how to look after them. I'm very fond of them actually! Our pet is well fed, kept in clean conditions and often scampers around our house, much to the consternation of hygiene-freak friends. He is certainly not neglected and does not need to be 'saved' or 'rescued'.
My comment that I 'let it die' (ie, our previous pet) was supposed to highlight my regret that, although she died from an illness - as did her sibling, with different owners - we had been unable to prevent this from happening.

Was that your Cloud that left a response? What a clever bunny he is
Indeed! :shock: He must have used my computer while I was having a shower. He was quite upset yesterday, because he lost his plums, so he must have been in a ranting mood.

Aww how is he coping with the loss of his plums?

Well done Cloud :wave:
Her retraction / explanation is a joke. A lot of back peddling going on I think. I think that the reaction to her column is what prompted the other idiot to write his. He has obviously been intrigued by the reaction that she got and thought we were a bunch of nutter. Hope he enjoys the millions of comments that he gets too. :evil::evil::evil:
