A priest, a pastor, and a rabbit walk into a blood donor clinic. The nurse asks the rabbit, “What is your blood type?” The rabbit replies,”I am probably a typo.”
You may be thinking, ‘typo’ what a stereotypical joke with an unexpected punchline. You can almost hear Bugs Bunny telling the joke with Peter Cottontail in the background.
But, unfortunately, it is not that simple, in real life, when it comes to rabbits.
And, it is definitely not funny.
Yet, tragically, as Elmer J. Fudd keeps declaring, [Easter] is wabbit season. And, sadly Easter is around the corner. The last thing anyone who loves rabbits wants, is to see them given as Easter gifts, and then dumped.
Rabbits are not typos. Once they are brought into your home they cannot be carelessly ‘deleted’, ‘erased’, or otherwise eliminated from your life.
Buy all the fluffy, plushy stuffed animals that you like. Gather all the bright candy-coloured and chocolate rabbits that you desire.
But, if you are thinking about gifting a real, live, cute bunny or rabbit for someone for Easter, just as when bringing any other animal into your home, please research carefully.
Are you thinking of giving someone a basket of Easter eggs? Or are you considering gifting someone a live rabbit?
How much thought will you put into each of your decisions? How much thought should you put into each of your decisions?
Do you know what is involved?
Does the person who will be getting the bunny as a gift even like, or care for, animals?
Will the person who is receiving the rabbit know how to take care of it?
Rabbits are affectionate, gentle and sensitive animals who, with the proper care, can make wonderful family members.
Many people put more thought into buying a new phone than they do about bringing a rabbit into their’s, or someone else’s, life.
Please, do not be that person.
