#animals are for life

i'm a little late as Easter is only in two days but this post is to remind people:

DON'T GET RABBITS FOR EASTER!!!

there is a real issue with getting rabbits as a "gift" for the holiday. it's mostly a problem when it is a short-term decision that has not been fully considered, often where new owners have not done enough research as their new pets have been bought practically on impulse. rabbits don't get the correct care they need - whether that be living space, enrichment, food, you name it.

another main issue is when rabbits are bought/adopted for easter but are returned to shops/shelters because children or adults "get bored of" or "don't have the time for" their new pet. what happens is tens or even hundreds of rabbits crowded into adoption/shelters every year. just like dogs at christmas.

IF you are thinking of getting a rabbit, PLEASE take things into consideration. do you actually want a rabbit? do you have the time for it? do you have the space? the funds? do you know how to take care of a rabbit? are you willing to do so? are you happy that they are a daily responsibility?

because, at the end of the day, getting a pet means you are responsible for its life. if there's anything above that you are unsure on, please consider. rabbits, just like any other pet, are not just to be neglected or thrown away. i am sorry to be so harsh, but you should only get a pet if you accept that you must put it first. it is your responsibility. if you cannot care for it properly, please do not get it. it is for the rabbits' sake. i am not saying this against you. the rabbits' lives matter, they are not toys.

IF you want to get a rabbit, have done your research, have considered everything, then i truly do suggest adopting/rescuing from shelters AFTER Easter because of what i stated above. rabbits who have been bought/adopted and dumped need love. please consider where you are getting your rabbits from.

as an additional note, please try not to support buying animals from shops and rather focus your attention on adoption, shelters and rescues. the animals there are most in need of homes <3.

As someone who has witnessed an asshole impulsively get a kitten, 2 chicks, 2 dogs. And got rid of all but one dog once they got a little older or "too much work" for the lazy selfish asshole. He found someone else to take them. But the kitten became an outside cat. During the winter. The kitten was taken into my dad's garage and kept until it was warm. Sweetest cat I've ever came across across in my life. He ran out of the garage on a nice day and hung around for a little. The neighbors behind my house were giving kittens away that a stray had, and our kitten was given away too. Neighbors said he went to a good home. I'm glad it worked out but still get upset, especially when my nephew still asks about his cat. I did help get the one dog a new home and she's doing amazing. But animals are for life.

I will never get rid of my dog. He is my life and my baby. I thought having a dog would be cheap-ish. I never would have guessed a dog can have allergies but I still pay for his medication even though it hurts financially and I get good dog food. My parents dog, Taz earned his name-sometimes still reminds us why we named him after tasmanian devil. But he is for life too. I don't want to think about life after they are gone because they are family. Life without them is going to be unbearably different.

Please be 100% committed if you’re giving/getting a kitten this Christmas. via

The shape of a fish's caudal tail can tell you a lot about how fast the fish moves! A rounded tail is the slowest and a lunate tail is the fastest! The lunate tail has the most optimal ratio of high thrust and low draw, making it the fastest.
