| bunnies I hate that people come out of the wood work selling bunnies around Easter time what makes me even sadder is when parents buy them for there kids and they end up at the shelter or listed on craigslist after a week.

| And some just dump them from the car at the park or a wooded area. Bunny probably last another 4 hours at best. My mother bought me a baby duck when I was a young child one Easter. Poor little thing didn't last a day. Seems like she never imagined her 3 year old would hide the duck in the sandbox and they don't last long "hiding" under sand for a long time - like during dinner. Back then, they sold them in the stores for Easter presents. My bunny the year before bit me so she didn't want to get another one of those. All the kids I knew always got a puppy for Christmas and then Easter we got little animals of one sort of the other. It was a different time in those days and a ghastly one for little animals.

| 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 http://www.young-williams.org/animal-adoption-knoxville 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.

| I know this makes me so sad as well. I reemeber when I was little, places used to sell Color Dyed chicks, us girls talked my mom into buying a pink one. Well let me tell you that Chick grew up to be a Rooster. He ran all over the place. My parents finally let a friend who had a farm take the Rooster. He lived many years and had a good home on the farm.

Speaking of bunnies..... anyone want one? LOL I'm kidding. I do have a bunny though, he's 2 years old and now that the kids are not around much, the poor thing is soooo neglected. I feed him and give him treats, but he never lets me pet him and he never gets any attention. Poor thing! I wish I could find a good home for him where someone would love him and hold him and make him friendlier.
