It's the greatest story ever told and yet we choose to tell them silly stories about egg hunts and rabbits. Worse, we buy them rabbits which, by the way, make the most horrible pets for kids. Yes! I'm a rabbit owner and it took me quite some time (and a bit of shock) to learn how to live with these animals.

Rabbits have very sharp teeth and claws. I have scars all over my body. Rabbits are ground-loving creatures that hate to be cuddled and lifted. Their prey instincts tell them that when they're lifted, they're being grabbed by a predator, which isn't wrong since humans are the greatest predators! We have to respect that and kids don't understand how such a cute ball of fur can't stand to be grabbed.
Soon, kids begin to dislike the rabbit for its violence (yes, rabbits bite and claw their way out of your arms) and the rabbit ends up neglected and even abused. Please. Don't buy rabbits this Easter. Save these beautiful creatures from certain death or an unloved life.
Easter is all about life renewed; buying rabbits for children will only sentence them to a miserable life or death.

Hi Frances. Your thought about Easter is really good. Indeed it's Jesus who's the real essence of Easter. The rabbits are just mascots for the event.
