It turns out that 4 out of 5 rabbits purchased for Easter, die or are abandoned within the first year.
That is an alarming number. Buying a rabbit, especially a baby is not the best way to celebrate Easter.
Give chocolate and put off the rabbit purchase until another time.

Some pet stores are even refusing to sell rabbits at this time of the year.
It is bad that they are being abandoned. It is worse that so many die. They are not getting proper care. It is sad to think that the abandoned ones are the lucky ones because they at least have a chance.
