Be Sweet to Bunnies this Easter

Why do bunnies need our help?

Though it's illegal to test cosmetics and toiletries on animals in Australia, a loophole allows products that have been tested in laboratories overseas to still be sold in Australian supermarkets.


One of the most common animal tests is theDraize test, in which rabbits are restrained and have chemicals dripped to their sensitive eyes. They are often left to languish for days, unable to paw at their inflamed eyes to remove the painful substances.


Many people don't know that some of the most popular brands such asColgate/Palmolive, Procter & Gamble, andL'Oreal fund cruel and unnecessary tests that burn, poison, and kill millions of animals every year. You can help to convince these companies to quickly adopt humane alternatives to animal tests by demanding that animal tested cosmetics be banned in Australia. Please click here to take action.


On behalf of all animals who deserve to be free from laboratories, thank you for your support. We wish you a very happy, cruelty-free Easter!

Bean.

Rabbits are complex animals. Bean is currently going through a phase. Not only has she reached adolescence but she is dealing with a stranger rabbit into her domain (although Leia is actually living in the kitchen and separated by a door, her presence is felt strongly). Bean is feeling confused and has major mood swings- attacking us with kisses then with her fangs! I am learning to try to aid Bean with as much love as I can and not to get angry with her. As I have said, bunnies teach me patience day by day.

It's okay little bunny. You'll get better soon and someone (besides me) will love you.

I have been busy girl which should mean lots to blog about. I have been pre-occupied as I have embarked on a mission for animals. You can see the blog that I have begun to help save the bunnies here.
