Don’t Buy Chicks or Bunnies For Easter:

Easter is tomorrow, and as we all know, rabbits and chicks and other fuzzy little animals are some of the main symbols for Easter. I have two rabbits, Elsa and Dottie, and I have been preparing to give them a wonderful Easter. Some people, though, don’t have bunnies or chickens and when they start getting all hyped up about Easter, they want to buy the symbols of Easter. Easter just lasts for one day. Rabbits live around 8 and 14 years, and chickens live about 5 to 10 years, both depending on the breeds. Once Easter is over, the excitement of having an Easter animal will likely fade, too. It is the same way that you get tired of a Christmas tree or that plastic skeleton you have for Christmas or Halloween, except you can’t just throw a rabbit or chicken into the garage and forget about it like you can a thing. I just want to spread the news about why it is a terrible idea to get a living breathing animal only for a holiday. They end up dying from bad care-taking or being abandoned to die from predators because they don’t know how to care for themselves. My family fostered rabbits for a while, and the place we fostered for expected a large amount of rabbits to come in right after Easter. It is a very, very sad topic, so I am pleading everyone not to get a pet for Easter unless you can properly care for that animal and have done your research. Instead, if you want a rabbit or other pet, WAIT. Buy it when you have learned about the animal, and when you have everything you need for it, too. Lastly, you will probably need to study your neighborhood laws if you want to raise chickens. Thank you for reading and I hope that you have thought better of impulse buying an animal.
