I think we are all well aware of how many bunnies are in rescue, that is a different thread though.
The OP has said she's sorry, what's done is done now.

Im not sure about that, Vegan Bunny - My Princess Katie was loved very much by her previous owners and she hid from us for a few days when she first arrived. It took her about 2 weeks not to run away from us. We cant get rid of her now - shes always round our feet![]()
It does seem a shame that a very quick search on the rabbit rehome site shows a fair few standard rexes needing homes from rescues.

Jill, you don't need to delete anything.
I'm not sure what you want the OP to do now? As a rescue it must be very frustrating I agree with you. I am anti breeding but sadly I don't think breeding will ever stop.![]()

It won't if people think saying sorry makes it all ok. :? They don't need to apologise to us. They need to apologise to the rabbit sitting in a rescue somewhere, waiting for a home that may never come.
I am not going to comment on this thread anymore. I am not going to tell the OP that it's all ok, because it isn't. If she didn't want to hear the truth, and some harsh realities, then she shouldn't have posted.
I do hope her rabbits doesn't suffer from some horrific genetic disease later in life.![]()
That last part is an awful thing to say. I have a rabbit from a breeder and one from P@H. As you say a lot of rescue rabbits are from breeders then rescue rabbits could have the same odds for genetic diseases. Least be diplomatic in what you say, what would you like the people who have got these rabbits already to do?
I don't want to make the op feel bad but....
People on here know the situation with rescues they know the welfare issue and if they then choose to buy a rabbit especially from a terrible breeder then come on here to apologise after doing it the sorry dsnt have any meaning... Because they decided to do it knowing All they know
People who say they are sorry after rarely make threads about it before they buy rabbits from breeders because they know what people will say and know people will suggest they rescue instead and want to buy from a breeder and not have guilt stop them. Then post after because it's done and can't be undone
Now if they said they planned to do it, wanted to do it and didn't care what others thought that's different because they aren't asking to be forgiven for something they decided to do and were fully informed about.
You can't plan to do something that you know is against the ethics of a group of people your addressing are against, do it and then expect everyone to be ok with it
Everyone is different and everyone will respond in different ways they are allowed to be honest with the op as long as they are not rude
Unfortunately the op has seen into the darker world of breeding which she has heard us all post about but maybe not fully realised how bad it is, now she's experienced it for herself it will affect her decisions in the future
What we don't want to do is scare her off the forum where she receives help, advice as support and can grow like we all did and still do learning about bunnies and welfare
I too would have personally walked away and not supported her by giving her profit
But what done is done
Pointing out how we feel and why we wouldn't make those decisions can help others make their decisions it's not necessarily people trying to make her feel bad but help her and others understand
