(Even if you don't look, please offer us some good thoughts and prayers!!)

8 rabbits are moving in tonight. 6 rabbits are leaving tomrrow. 4 are going to a foster home and 2 are heading to Kentuck and 2 are heading to Scranton PA on Wed. to another rescue!! I will post pictures of these sweeties later tonight.







No, they ALL aren't big, white and have pink eyes. Not at all. They look like normall pet bunnies. The kind you find in the pet store or in peoples homes. The ones who love there owners and binky around the room providing us with hours of intertanment. They are normal everyday rabbits.

2 Weeks Till they Go to Slaughter I hope I have somewhere for them ALL to go by then ::sigh::, I know it's a "natural" thing, but it's sooo sad alll these preciouse bunnies have to die!

:( Ash :(

[micki76]

OMG Ash! I wish I could have that "Chester" looking one. :( :( :(

[animal_rescue]

If I could I would take 2 but I live in Indiana and I'm only 14 so there would be no way of getting down there!!

[slick]

That's so sad.:( I have never eaten rabbit and I never will!!! I've been a meat eater all my life and this thread is almost turning me into a vegetarian!!!

You should be there, holding them. Cuddling them, kissing them. It will turn you vegetarian in a snap. :( You should see there sweet faces, omg, these pictures don't even do justic to them. :( Slick- Did you ever see the pics I posted of the ducks I rescued from a meat farm?? I havn't been able to eat duck or chicken since.

Ashley :(

[zippy-kat]

:( This upsets me greatly especially since I thought it was going to be about the 2-4 you were going to rescue. I wish there had been a warning at the top - I wouldn't have looked. :(


On a side note, rabbits that are turned into pounds/kill shelters are far more likely to end up on a dinner plate. I remember someone telling me about such a case in El Paso, TX.

Look at those poor feeties on that wire floor, the over-turned water/food bowls, the over crowding. I'm seriously crying looking at these.:( :( :(

[Nomilynn]

(((((HUGS))))) Tonya :(

This thread should have been in the dog house, with a warning.

[Aspen and Misty]

Sorry, I never even thought anyone would be upset by these. I really am sorry Tonya, I didn't mean to upset you. ::hugs:: It is sad. I wish I would of had the warning up sooner so you wouldn't have to be upset like this. Sorry. I contacted Karen to move the thread, sorry again. I feel really bad. Sorry.

Ash

[manda_moo87]

...:( Those poor precious little darlings. If only I lived closer I would be able to take 3-4...:( so sad. They're so adorable.

[chrissycat21]

I hope they all find homes real soon!

If I lived closer I would take as many as I could in a second! They are all so adorable, how can anyone even think about eating them? (Well, I might have a different point of view then you becuase I'm a vegetarian). :(

-Chrissy, Snowy, and Taffy

[lv4dogs]

Oh that is soo sad. Where in PA are they or you? I'm going near scranton next weekend to rescue a couple ferrets, I may be able to squeeze in a bunny :)

[sasvermont]

I hate to say this, but lots of folks eat rabbit. I don't, but there are many people who raise them for meat, just like chickens and ducks etc. I don't like the idea of "pet" rabbits being turned into dinner any more than the next person. I didn't read the entire thread, and look at every picture. Did I miss the part where you say how you know that they will become "meat rabbits".... ???

Anyway, I think these guys look like pets, but I suspect it has to do with more of how they are raised, than anything - not how they look to us. Some people do not make pets out of their rabbits - like cows - sheep - pigs - chickens..... and then eat them......

[cali]

yes you did lol a friend of hers raises rabbits for meat, but is moving? I think? so ash is trying to rescue as many as she can before they go to slaughter

I think what you are doing is wonderful and I applaud you for it. If I lived closer I would help you with your endeavour. Best of luck finding them furrever homes.

Thanx Slick, sometimes I feel like giving up though. Then I get an email from a shelter or see a bunny pic, or give my bunnies a kiss and I rember why I am doing what I'm doing.

5 Homes to date, and another shelter is calling me sometime this weekend to set up a time to collect there bunnies. Now all I have to do is raise 200 dollars, LOL. I hope the shelters can "buy" there rabbits, other whys it's all up to me! Ahh. ::hides::

Ash

[jazzcat]

Oh my, this is heartbreaking. They look like cute little pets. I can't believe people still eat rabbits. Even around here in East TN I don't know anyone who eats rabbits or at least they don't talk about it.

Ash, I think your 'one girl rescue' is amazing. I always look for your posts to see who or what you are saving next. Hats off to ya'!!!

Best of luck with the bunnies. I'll say a prayer for them.:(

[RubyMutt]

You're a wonderful person, Ash.

Poor bunnies :( :( I hope they can find homes :(
Best of luck you sweet bunnies!

I remember one time when my RB rabbit, Tulip, was still with me some relatives were over. I was relaxing on our balcony with Tulip in my lap when my aunt came over to me and said, "You know, rabbits taste quite good" I just looked at her with a look of disgust on my face :( She replied in an aggravated voice (like I offended her or something :mad: ) "Don't worry, I'm not going to eat your rabbit!" I still get angry till this day when I think back to that moment. She didn't even see anything wrong with that comment :rolleyes: :mad:

[G.P.girl]

oh poor bunnies!! i wish i could take one, but i think Cadbury is too set in his ways to accept another bunny in the house. :( good luck finding them a home, you're doign a really good thing, most people wouldn't do.

[tikeyas_mom]

AW they are all so sweet. I wish I could take some. But Tikeya wouldent have it. I hope they find good homes and dont end up in someones ungrateful belly. :"(

[lute]

that's sick! i've seen a sign for meat rabbits before,but i thought,like a lot of people, that they were the big,white ones. i wish i could take one,i love rabbits AS PETS!

[heinz57_79]

I wish there was a way we could help you out. :( You know, to me, it doesn't matter whether they're big white rabbits with pink eyes, or little black and white ones... I don't think I could ever eat a rabbit. If I could, I'd be a vegetarian, but my body can't handle it. I've tried. Got really sick. Plus, I think that humans were born omnivores. We've been eating meat since the beginning. I see nothing wrong with eating meat, but you can still provide good conditions for those animals used as food. Just because an animal is being raised for food doesn't mean you should treat it badly. There's no reason for overcrowding, or poor living conditions. It's just sad.

You're wonderful for doing what you can! I know we all wish we could do more, but every little bit helps. :)

[Aspen and Misty]

Thanx everyone! Your encouraging words mean alot to me.

Jazzcat- Aww! Thanx! I love what I do and hope I can do it forever!!

Rubymutt- HOW RUDE!! I would still be mad if I were you too!!

6 Definit homes!! 7 is Lv4dogs takes one!!! YAY!!! I am still waiting on a farm who rescues meat animals, I'm hopeing and praying they can take some if not all!

:confused:

[moosmom]

I guess you had to be there.

You know when people ask you what certain unique foods (like say, frogs legs) taste like, the typical answer is "they taste like chicken".

I guess I laid a bomb here. *sigh* never mind.

[Logan]

I "got" it, Donna!!! :D
