"It is the greatest of all mistakes to do nothing because you can only do little."
Regardless of the effort, after Easter, rabbit rescues will be flooded with rabbits that have become unwanted Easter gifts. Please donate any amount you can to your local rabbit or other animal rescue. If you don't have one, here's a great one: GHRS
Don't give animals as gifts -- this applies to bunnies, chicks, ducklings, cats and dogs - any pet. Please be an educated, loving and caring pet person.Adopt - don't shop.

The Plea of the Easter BunnyBy Anne M Kenyon[There used to be links but they don't work any more.]
Will you think of me at Easter,
Will you buy me as a gift...
For your girlfriend, boyfriend, little child
To grant their special wish?

Will you think of me inside my hutch,
That tiny 'starter-pack'
That doesn't let me hop around
And starts to hurt my back?

Will you think of me 'tomorrow'
When you go to work or school
With a lovely lunch packed in your bag,
'Cos I get hungry too...

Will you think of me, just sometimes please?
My hutch, it smells so bad.
I'd love some water in my bowl,
And some hay. I'd be so glad!

Will you think of me when the sun shines bright
And it's 'wonderfully hot'
But I cant get cool, this heat is cruel,
Don't tell me you've forgot!

Will you think of me when the north wind blows
And my hutch floor turns to ice,
And I'm shivering whilst you're all warm
Underneath your quilt so nice?

Will you think of me? Please think of me!
I'm helpless, at your mercy!
Why did you buy me on a whim?
Why did you then desert me?

Will you think of me now Easter has
Arrived yet once again,
And a thousand little bunnies
Face a life of hopeless pain?

I can binkie over rainbows now,
I am happy, and I'm free.
But I wonder, now that I have gone,

Will you ever think of me....?

Easter Bunny Poem

by Mary Brandolino
In memory of all the bunnies we couldn’t save.

I remember Easter SundayIt was colorful and funThe new life that I’d begunIn my new cage.
I was just a little thingWhen they brought me from the storeAnd they put me on the floorIn my cage.
They would take me out to playLove and pet me all the timeThen at day’s end I would climbIn my cage.
But as days and weeks went byI saw less of them it seemedOf their loving touch I dreamedIn my cage.
In the night outside their houseI felt sad and so neglectedOften scared and unprotectedIn my cage.
In the dry or rainy weatherSometimes hotter sometimes colderI just sat there growing olderIn my cage.
The cat and dog raced by mePlaying with each other onlyWhile I sat there feeling lonelyIn my cage.
Upon the fresh green grassChildren skipped and laughed all dayI could only watch them playFrom my cage.
They used to take me outAnd let me scamper in the sunI no longer get to runIn my cage.
Once a cute and cuddly bunnyLike a little ball of cottonNow I’m grown up and forgottenIn my cage.
I don’t know what went wrongAt the home I did inhabitI just grew to be a rabbitIn my cage.
But they’ve brought me to the poundI was once loved and enjoyedNow I wait to be destroyedIn my cage.
