Easter Bunny Poem

People buy cute cuddly baby rabbits on impulse for children at Easter. They don't realize that a bunny is not a low-maintaince pet and they don't stay cuddly babies. The family gets bored with the rabbit and they end up at the animal shelter. This happens with rabbits more so than with other kinds of pets. This is a poem about such an easter rabbit.

In memory of all the bunnies we couldn't save.

I remember Easter Sunday
It was colorful and fun
The new life that I'd begun
In my new cage.

RE: Easter Bunny Poem

I have a neighbor who used to buy her children chicks every year for Easter. They never made it out of the cardboard box that she brought them home in. Every year she told them that their dad would build a pen for these chicks, but they always ended up dying in the cardboard box on the porch waiting for their pen. Talking to the neighbor did nothing, so one year I talked to her kids instead. They asked their mother to please not get them chicks that Easter and that was the end of that.
I bought my kids a rabbit a couple of Easters ago and we love him dearly, but every year when I see bunnies, chicks and ducklings for sale I wonder how many of them will live to see next Easter.

RE: Easter Bunny Poem

Hi,
I have a great bunny story. In May, seven years ago, a bunny hopped in our yard. He had been dropped off in the park and was looking for a home. Our son and daughter-in-law made a fantastic home for Bugs. He lived seven thoroughly spoiled years as the alpha pet. Bugs passed away in my son's arms, still loved and cherished. Some Easter bunnies end up better for being discarded.
I know this isn't the norm, but for one special bunny, it sure was a blessing that some family didn't want to care for our beloved Bugs.
I agree, think before you get a pet. Our son and daughter-in-law aren't everywhere to love your special bunny. A special thanks to everyone willing to take a pet someone else didn't want - after they brought it home.

People should also take caution with chicks too, I have seen people selling 'coloured' chicks for Easter presents. They do not stay fluffy and are you really prepared for a house chicken? :) Impulse pets of any kind just aren't a good idea!
