Please be on the lookout for pet rabbits roaming around, not all would be dumped some might just not have been secured properly and dug out of the hutch but well... it's that time of year again...

Rabbits are an easily 12yr+ commitment which when they're an impulse easter purchase can be far too long for some and misconception leads to others thinking they can survive in the wild when the domestic breeds have no knowledge of how to dig a proper shelter nor can they adapt to changes in weather, with us having falcons around, cat saliva is toxic to them, not to mention wandering dogs and cars, it's a bleak environment for a rabbit who is bred to be in a human home not out in the wild, even the suburban wild

Even if you don't find any wandering around it'd make a difference if you're able to donate to the Wellington Rabbit Rescue, I know money can be tight for many so the most powerful thing you can do is learn and spread awareness

[Em] Who’s to blame?
[A7] Forestry, people or [D] chickens
