[Aspen and Misty]

**WARNING!! Meat Rabbit Pictures!! These babies might not be saved, Please Do Not look unless you KNOW you can handle it (not Gruesome , just very cute and sad)**** Please read about our good news though!


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

GOOD NEWS:
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.

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!!

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.

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.

(((((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.

... 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).

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

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......
