My visit to Better Connecticut

My friend and HRC cohort Marlene Wilhelm visited Scot Haney on WFSB’s Better Connecticut on April 1, 2010 on behalf of The House Rabbit Connection. We discussed why parents should not include rabbits in Easter baskets. Rabbits can live 14 years and potential owners should be prepared for taking care of the entire lifespan of the pet.

Beckett was a frisky bunny with his new stuffed animal bunny, but this is exactly why you should fix your bunnies! HRC spays and neuters every rabbit before we adopt them out.

Marlene did most of the talking. I was trying to keep Beckett from misbehaving too much, and changing the rating of Better Connecticut from G to XXX!

Best Friends say no bunnies for Easter

And so does HRC! Bunnies are given as kids in Easter baskets, but then quickly forgotten and abandoned. The cycle makes the life of rabbit rescues very difficult.

Bunnies are cute, but they’re long-term commitments. They make great pets, but they require lots of care and devotion on the part of their humans.

Please don’t get a bunny unless you’ve done the research necessary. And please consider adopting a bunny, not buying one!
