Rabbit rescues face post Easter rush

[Catherine]

Many people like to take home a baby bunny for Easter. Baby bunnies are so cute. However a short time later they find themselves with a full sized rabbit and they are not prepared to care for it.  The good people at least take the rabbit to a shelter and give it a chance. The not so good people just put the rabbit outside to fend for itself. That is a certain death sentence unless the rabbit is spotted and rescued in time.

Every year ads tell people to not buy a bunny for Easter unless it is chocolate. And every year people do it. The shelters and rescues do the best they can, but the are overwhelmed very quickly.

When it is so bad that they can only take in rabbits found in the park then there is a problem.

This is a good time of the year to make a donation to your local rabbit rescue. They certainly need all the support we can give them.
