Petland Mini-Lop Ad and How YOU Can Help
Hello everyone
I opened the Sunday paper to find a nice color ad from Petland
advertising mini-lops for $8.88, and with a coupon, you could save
25%. A little baby mini-lop for $6.66. Wow, what a bargain.
Yes, that is what uneducated people think when they see that
ad and have little kids begging for a bunny. However, for those
of us in the know, it's far from a bargain. In fact, it is usually
the start and end of a bunny life.
Why am I telling you this? Because we need for each and every
one of you to do your part and help educate the public. YOU
are the rabbit lovers and YOU are the people that CAN make a
difference if you take the time to help.
The feeling that "someone else will do it" does not work in
this situation. We ALL need to join together and help spread
the word that rabbits are not disposable Easter pets.
We are excited that Oxbow is partnering with us this year and
has a link to our MMC! website on their homepage. Rabbit
Central is a new partner and is including a MMC flyer in each
order they send out. Leith Petwerks is giving away magnets
with each of their orders over a certain dollar amount.
Please, don't wait for someone else to help, YOU help too!
We have a new color flyer & envelope labels on the web
for download in addition to all the other educational materials.
We have the t-shirts, sweatshirts, pins, and magnets for wear
to help promote the cause. Our new Interactive Bun
(formerly Learning Center) has a fantastic new game building
a bunny food pyramid.
The bunnies can't speak for themselves but we can
speak for them. Will you?
The rabbits and I thank you for your support!
