Domestic rabbits (like those in the photo) require unlimited hay for proper digestive health; varieties include Timothy, Orchard, oat and Brome hays. See Oxbow.com for more info. The wire floor damages their feet. Period. So what if they chew a wood floor? Then periodically replace it.

Wild rabbits and domesticated rabbits are not one and the same. Look again at the photo - these are pet (domestic) rabbits she is breeding to kill. Probably over 95% of people condemn what Mike Vick did to dogs (particularily upon hearing the full details of the things done). Just why is it that breeding of pet animals for the express purpose of killing them, in this instance rabbits, is any different from what Vick did?

Good luck to you in your quest.

Sun, 27 Feb 2011 04:39:57 +0000 http://www.dailycamera.com/lifestyles/ci_17443340#IDComment130956598 http://www.dailycamera.com/lifestyles/ci_17443340#IDComment130956036 The cages in the photos are too small for rabbits. The all-wire floors harm their feet and are cruel. The is no evidence of hay, which is required 24/7 for a rabbit's digestive motility and hence proper health. Your statement about quality of destination restaurant is a non sequitor. The purchasing restaurant does not validate the source. Sun, 27 Feb 2011 04:35:10 +0000 http://www.dailycamera.com/lifestyles/ci_17443340#IDComment130956036 http://www.dailycamera.com/lifestyles/ci_17443340#IDComment130954795 The article is not "great". It is an uncritical unthinking lazy paraphrase of what the rabbit killer has on her own website, along with other internet stories. Poor journalism, really. Unwarranted free advertising, too. Yes it is well written in English with good grammar. The article is still amateurish, however. The issue is not meat eaters vs vegans per se. Rather, it's about a reprehensible rabbit concentration camp vs hundreds of people who volunteer to save the lives of rabbits and help place them in loving homes. Literally, without hyperbole, good vs evil.

Not that there's much in Longmont besides Lefthand Brewing, anyways.

She has no clue. Right here in CO there are hundreds of volunteers donating thousands of hours per year to save rabbits. House Rabbit Society - a non-profit, no-kill shelter.

Rabbits are amazing and intelligent companions, and their lives are to be treasured.

Rabbits are delightful pets, and the breeders like in the article are incredibly ignorant.

Since you now eat meat, are you gonna toss your puppy into the crockpot?

Does she cook her dog or cat for dinner? Fri, 25 Feb 2011 20:33:06 +0000 http://www.dailycamera.com/lifestyles/ci_17443340#IDComment130678175
