The Great Rabbit Liberation

I plunged into the world of domestic rabbit rescue in June, 2016 when I discovered a "meat rabbit" herd on a local farm. It was shocking to see these gentle creatures kept in cramped, dirty, wire-bottom cages. The mobile shed was crammed with rabbits, the air quality was unbreathable, and the rabbits were suffering. A long story short, I negotiated with the farmer to buy out that part of the farm's business and rescued 144 large rabbits. Many volunteers helped me and we got all the rabbits off the farm into safe shelters, loving forever homes, and foster situations. 

I have ten large buns living with me that require dedicated care which I do with joy. As well, I volunteer for House Rabbit Network, the organization that made it possible to rescue all the buns. I often have another four-five foster buns at any one time in my care.

Putting vet bills aside, the kinds of ongoing expenses to do this work in service to the buns are:
- pellets 
- litter 
- hay
- Oxbow treats
- exercise pens
-chew toys
- litterboxes
- cleaning supplies
-transport costs

The work takes a lot of time, especially when I go out on a rescue to scoop up an abandoned bun, or when doing transport such as taking buns to and from spay/neuter appointments, or taking them further afield. This has meant I have had less time for paid work. 

If you would like to support the continuing efforts of The Great Rabbit Liberation please donate any amount now. Or, go to the Amazon Wish List and offer something from there. Thank you for your kindness.

We were covered in The Boston Globe , in print and video. There was an article in Tricycle Magazine , too. 

Feel free to contact me if you would like more information or are interested in adopting a bunny.

Thank you so much and palms together,

May all beings be happy
