Gracie didn't let her harrowing start to life dampen her spirit, and she became a superstar, posing with actor Charlotte Ross in a PETA anti-fur ad. And in her new home, where she is wanted, Gracie enjoys romping through the vegetable garden and digging holes. She doesn't like it when her chicken companions try to eat her food, but the wily rabbit never hesitates to steal theirs.
While sweet Gracie got her happy ending, she would be saddened if she knew that rabbits just like her are confined to tiny cages every year in laboratories in the U.S. They have cosmetics and household cleaners dripped into their eyes. Their backs are shaved, and corrosive chemicals are painted onto their raw skin and left to burn away the tissue for weeks. Then they are killed.

OMG - How could anyone even think of feeding that sweet rabbit to a SNAKE! That made M sick when she read it. M always shops for product that have not been tested on animals first.
ReplyDeleteGracie thank heaven for your new mom for giving you a safe home to run and play.
ReplyDeleteMario & Patti - thanks for your comments. It's beyond me how anyone could feed a live animal to a snake - mice, rats, rabbits, whatever!
