The holidays should be a time of joy, but for many bunnies they are a time of fear or death! The shelters are now over crowed with extra bunnies, bunnies who will be put to death because their former owner didn't want to find boarding for them over the holidays. Since rabbits look cute, like a stuffed animal, people don't think of them as real pets. They get a cute baby bunny, and when the bunny gets annoying or is no longer "fun" to have it gets dumped. When you get a bunny, you are making an 8-12 year commitment.
I don't unerstand why people are more than willing to find a pet sitter or bring their cat or dog with them for the holidays, but decided that rabbits are inconvient and so they dump them at the shelter. Pets don't get adopted during the holidays. Shelters usually don't promote rabbits. If the bunny is not adopted, and a rescue cannot take it in, the rabbit get killed a.k.a. euthanized. Happy F'n Holidays to you too!
I could go on, but I won't. You get the picture. End of rant...
