Rabbits Make Bad Pets

It’s Easter time, which means painting hard boiled eggs, passing out chocolate and visiting the Easter Bunny. Rumor has it there is also a religious meaning behind Easter. Apparently with the candy parents stick in Easter baskets, they are also including a cute, cuddly bunny as well. I like the way Kate Braser wrote about it:

A fluffy bunny hopping from a basket into a child’s arms on Easter morning might make a perfect Kodak moment, but long after strands of plastic Easter grass are vacuumed away, that rabbit still will be around.

The local Humane Societies want you to know that rabbits don’t disappear the day after Easter and that you must take care of them just like any other pet. Who knew? Additionally, if you do get a rabbit (or any animal for that matter), don’t leave it in a cage at all times. I think the morale to the story is to just eat a chocolate bunny for Easter, rather than bringing home a real-life one to eat your furniture.
