There was a news report on our local station, the large animal shelter in Knoxville
Young-Williams Animal Centerwas pleading with consumers not to buy bunnies for Easter gifts. The shelter has lots of bunnies
that are surrendered.
poor bunnies and at least it is a no kill shelter

I will admit to buying baby chicks for my boys at Easter years ago. We raised them in the house until big enough to go out with the grown hens. But we live on a farm and they lived out their lives in the hen house with the other chickens and roosters.
