Jenny jinya who make people cry with her animal comics is back with a new one and this time its bunny. Easter is awful for rabbits. Domestic rabbits are one of the most abandoned pets in America, thanks to widespread misconception, and Jenny Jinya is not happy about it. For more animal comics visit Uhstories.com
The same illustrator and comic artist who made people cry with her Good Boy and Black Cat comics has created a new one to urge people reconsider taking a bunny into their homes.

The problem is that many people believe they are short-lived, low-maintenance, cage-bound animals, thus they must be suitable “starter pets,” similar to hamsters or goldfish. But the truth is far different. Rabbits require a lot of exercise and cannot stay in a cage for extended periods of time. They also need to learn to use a litterbox, which requires patience, and because they are prey animals, they dislike being picked up by humans; they like to remain in control with their feet on the ground.
Jenny has once again depicted the misery of our thoughtless choices, demonstrating what it may imply for the poor animal.

Although young bunnies appear fluffy and charming, when they mature between 3-6 months old, they can become aggressive and even destructive. Many new owners believe that these unwanted behaviours are symptoms of a larger problem and decide to euthanize the animal, despite the fact that adequate exercise, litterbox training, and spaying or neutering solve the majority of the problems. Others may conduct some study and become concerned about the time and money required to change rabbit behaviour. Jennifer McGee, co-manager of the Georgia chapter of House Rabbit Society, a shelter in the state’s southern region, told National Geographic that she is frequently faced with disbelief and frustration from parents: “What do you mean I have to spend $200 to fix a $30 rabbit?”

Because so many of these adorable little furballs end up at animal shelters in late spring or early summer, some pet shops cease advertising them before Easter and instead give potential customers a coupon for after the holiday in an effort to reduce impulse purchases.
It is uncertain exactly how many rabbits are abandoned in the United States. There is no organisation that collects such data. Most shelters keep track of how many dogs and cats they locate, euthanize, or adopt, but rabbits are often classified as “other” with birds, reptiles, and small mammals.
According to Anne Martin, executive director of the House Rabbit Society, around two-thirds of rabbits rescued in Northern California are stray animals left to fend for themselves. In certain areas, such as Las Vegas and Spokane, public parks and vacant spaces have become dumping grounds for stray and unwanted rabbits. People abandon them, most likely ignorant that this is the death penalty. Domestic rabbits, according to Martin, lack the survival instincts of their wild counterparts, making them incapable of fighting infection, building safe homes, or adapting to the weather.
