    Poachers and cosmetic manufacturers beware: International Rabbit Day is definitely not for you! Held on the fourth Saturday or Sunday of September, this annual celebration of the long-eared, short-tailed mammal is not just in the name of the millions of bunnies kept as pets across the Western world, but aims to promote a serious message about animal welfare. On International Rabbit Day we are encouraged to consider, not only the companionship offered by our favourite hutch-dwellers, but the various ways in which rabbits are harmed by medical and cosmetic testing, hunting, fur farming and, of course, casseroling. Yes, there is a serious side to International Rabbit Day but you may not be surprised to learn that events are somewhat sporadic – so let your bunny out of its hutch and give it an extra carrot or two (and be sure to plan chicken for the family roast).

    I wonder how this will go......

    I like the rabbitabout in Gloucester :). There is also a good one on the way to Woodstock that, as a teenager, we used to sometimes drive to of a night time to admire the bunnies :)

    Previous next door neighbour use to run Hoppy Holidays where they looked after pet rabbits when their owners went on holiday.
    They liked it when we got our Border Terriers :D

    But that would be a Rampant Rabbit, so I'm told :D
