This is so sad!! How is a rabbit any different than loving a dog or a cat? I'm sorry to hear that so many of you have been made fun of simply because you share some love with an animal. The world needs more loving people and it's not something that should be seen as silly.
The people I work with ask about my bunnies and think they're cute (how could you not??). My family thinks we went a little overboard on the NIC cages (ok, maybe they have a point there!) but they love hearing about the buns and seeing pictures. I hope you all can convince at least some of these people that bunnies are little furballs of love and awesome!
