It's a Big World Out There
When I first considered getting a bunny, I went to a few pet shops to take a look at the bunnies on display. Many of them were either over/under-priced (ranging from $20?! to $500+) or they were really tiny. Of course customers will prefer tiny cute babies to large full grown bunnies. This resulted in baby bunnies being removed from their mothers at premature ages (less than 2 months). Many of them will tend to die due to the lack of mother's milk & care.
Luckily for myself and perhaps Misty, she's already an adult bunny when I brought her home. Adopted, that is. There are so many bunnies out there waiting to be adopted. All this while, hiding in the wilds or at a kind fosterer's home.
Every year, there are about 1000 bunnies being abandoned at parks, void decks, and wherever possible places you can think of. Hopefully for 2006 and beyond, this number will decrease significantly.
