BC SPCA warns not to give bunnies at Easter
With Easter just days away, and a tradition of gift giving around this time of year, the BC SPCA urges the public to not buy bunnies as Easter gifts.
Craig Naherniak, general manager of humane education for the BC SPCA, says it may come as a surprise that rabbits and children do not make good long-term companions. "Rabbits are great pets for adults, but are not appropriate pets for small children despite the pervasive media images of children with rabbits," he says. “They don’t like to be picked up, as they are prey animals and picking them up distresses them. Like any pet, they require proper care and can live up to 12 years"
