Thats all folks!

Just lost one of our 2 rabbits yesterday. Not sure what was wrong but it was surely heading for a slow death, so we decided to speed things up. I sent C upstairs while I finished it off after advice by my brother. He’s a hunter and knew how to do it fast and humane.
Not the funniest thing I’ve done in my life, but I’ve always meant that you shouldn’t be allowed to have animals if you can’t take responsibility for their well-being. This means ending their suffering too.
C was heartbroken. We bought it when it was 3 months old to be company to the other rabbit we had. That one was found running free 3+ years ago. They have kept C company while I worked and she sat home bored. It’s understandable why shes sad. We gave it a “burial” in the nearby forest where It’ll probably be recycled by a fox or bird of prey. At least it will do some good here in the freezing cold and snow.
I’m forbidden by C to get her a new one. She doesn’t want anymore rabbits to take care off in the future, and I think that’s wise. It’s a lot of work keeping the cage clean and keep in mind to feed them daily. So when the last rabbit goes, that’ll be the end of rabbits in our house. At least I know that the rabbit had a good life. C has always been very attentive to their needs and kept them well protected.
