Holiday Gifts

If you are thinking about giving a rabbit as an Easter gift, be prepared to care for the creature even after the kids lose interest.

I got this e-mail from a reader, in response to my writing about the sad throwaway cycle for bunnies. Buy them for Easter gifts, and dump them when the novelty wears off (and isn't that a great lesson for a child?):

I am responding to the question about an overflow of rabbits from Easter. Why don't they just keep the rabbits for a few weeks, and if no one adopts them, make them into meat rabbits and sell the meat?

I'm hoping he's just a troll, trying to jerk my chain a little. But I'm guessing not.
