June 9th - "Wining" About Rabbits A couple of weeks ago my sister Bonnie and I went to a wine tasting event
in Woodinville, WA. We walked into the tasting room and the first thing we heard out of the tasting room server
was "this merlot pairs well with RABBIT ...." I didn't hear much after that. After she finished pouring and the others
walked away, I took our server aside to explain that "pairing a merlot with a rabbit" is offensive to a pet rabbit fan. I
told her rabbits are a popular pet and hearing this would be the same as hearing "cabernet goes well with cat" to a
cat owner or a "pinot noir pairs well with poodles." I don't hesitate to speak up on this subject anymore. It is just
one more opportunity to tell people about how wonderful rabbits are as pets. The rabbit pictured above is "Miss
Sage," my sister's 6 year old Netherland Dwarf who loves salad and is never going to be served with one!

"Meat" rabbits to become pets - 29 July 2006

Cranston Animal Control and police seized 27 rabbits living in squalour. This was a meat rabbit
operation being ran out of a 100 degree (40C), dark, maggot/rat infested garage.

"Thanks to the good people at Sweet Binks rabbit rescue for taking 21 rabbits out of 27. The 21
rabbits at Sweet Binks are being well cared for and several are already placed. The other six at the
shelter are Flemish giants and mixes who need homes soon! The Cranston shelter is doing a
great job, but they are just not equipped to handle rabbits, especially many rabbits."

Apparently, the rabbits were surrendered voluntarily or the owner would have been arrested. These
wonderful rabits were "only being fed 5 times a week." It was a meal of green, mouldy bread and
water green with algae.
