“Rabbits are a familiar symbol of the Easter holiday. In the days leading up to it, they appear on television commercials and packages of candy, and stores are filled with stuffed rabbits. It is no surprise that children beg their parents for a bunny of their own. Ill-prepared to care for these unique creatures, their “owners” often quickly tire of them. In the months following Easter, local humane societies and rabbit rescues are flooded with rabbits, former Easter gifts whose “owners” no longer want them. The unlucky ones are dumped outside where predators, cars, illness, and injury virtually guarantee an early death.” (from Make Mine Chocolate)
There is a kinder alternative to Easter gifts! Chocolate and plush bunnies can be just about as cute, and much more appropriate! Chocolate and plush bunnies can be a lot more thoughtful and delightful if you look outside of the drugstore aisle. They don’t have to be tacky!
