Easter Rabbits
Animals are never appropriate gifts.
They are living beings that deserve to be adopted into loving, willing and committed homes. Adopting an animal is a commitment for the animal’s lifetime – for rabbits that can be 10+ years.
Many people purchase rabbits – often baby bunnies – for their children at Easter. Within a few months, the child is bored with the bunny and the parents realize a rabbit can be a lot of work. By June Easter bunnies fill animal shelters looking for new homes and facing the risk of euthanasia.
KAR strongly discourages purchasing rabbits for Easter. Buy a chocolate or plush bunny instead!

Kingston Animal Rescue is working hard to change the way the world (starting with Kingston and area) thinks about animals and to ensure they have the proper knowledge when it comes to their animals. We will continue to add information on these pages to help inform the public about the wrongs that are out there. If there's ever something missing that you'd like to see please don't hesitate to let me know!
