As many of you may know, some people dump rabbits. These people think that their rabbits can survive in the wild. This is not an okay way to give up a domesticated animal, once domesticated any animal looses its survival instincts. It becomes easy prey or perhaps it will suffer a long, slow death from hunger. If you cannot take care of your animal the only acceptable option is a shelter or a trusted friend who knows how to take care of a rabbit.

As Election Day draws near most of us (Americans anyway) are preoccupied with some of the issues frequenting our country. However even if you are Democratic or Republican or even a smaller party, chances are you have at some point or another owned a rabbit. Now maybe this is a broad assumption, but since you are reading a blog about rabbits... If you have not owned a rabbit insert any other animal instead. As you may have noticed some people have rather odd conceptions about rabbits, what rabbit owner hasn't heard,"Oh it's just a bunny." or "Yum rabbit stew!"?

The only way that way of thinking will change is if you educate people. Tell people that rabbits aren't stupid and give examples. When you talk to people respectfully they'll often be delighted to learn something new.

There are many companies that sell unhealthy products that can harm or even potentially kill your rabbit. Write letters to those companies, talk to the pet stores that stock their products, and warn people against buying their products.

If you just think, "Oh I can't change it.." Well then congratulations, you just proved yourself right. Animal cruelty laws are in place because people worked together and there is no reason we cannot change the incorrect view of rabbits.

I would love to hear your experiences doing this via the comments. Thank you!
