Unwanted Christmas pets

Quote:When will people understand that YOU DO NOT BUY PEOPLE ANIMALS FOR CHRISTMAS PRESENTS!?

However the rabbit ended up with them, it should never have happened.

I can understand someone getting an unwanted pet for Christmas. I can understand them not being able to care for it or not being prepared to care for it. Not everyone wants a pet. That I can accept.

WHAT I CAN'T UNDERSTAND IS ABANDONING THE ANIMAL TO A CERTAIN DEATH!!!!!!

There are plenty of animal shelters around. Certainly there was one where the rabbit died. If they can take the trouble to drive the rabbit somewhere to abandon it, WHY CAN'T THEY TAKE IT TO THE SHELTER!!!!!

That is the behavior that I can't comprehend or ever begin to forgive. I can only hope that there is some justice sometime for that little bunny who had such a brief life.

Making public the fate of  the little rabbit might be enough to stop even one family from abandoning a pet. His death can at least save other pets from the same sad end. It doesn't make it less sad that he died that way, but at least we can try to bring something positive out of it.
