I may be reading this wrong - but here is the impression I'm getting:

"I would rather kill my pet (by eating her) than have something donewhich would keep her from getting cancer - which she has an 85% chanceof getting if she doesn't have the surgery."....or in other words, "I'drather eat her than have a surgery that could keep her healthier foryears.."

Got it.

Amy,

Anyone who has been on this board knows you weren't rude. Youwere concerned and expressing your concern....for which I was grateful!

I have a hard time picturing you ever being rude - even when yourant! You're always more polite than I am....even though Itry to keep my temper in check on topics about breeding...

Thank youPeg



I think sometimes people don't understandmy views on breeding. So I shall state them.

I have NO problem with breeding, but that statement comes with a catch.

I have no problem with people breeding IFthey know what they are doing BEFORE they breed.

I have no problem with breeding if theyare doing it because it is something they love and they are reallypassionate about it.

Ihave a problem with it whenpeople think that their doe just needs to get pregnant so she canexperience motherhood.

I have a problem with it when they are using the doe to "Make Money".

I have a problem with it when they justwant some babies around, and they just hope nothing goeswrong.

I have a problem with it when they justfeel like breeding and seeing what happens, not caring what happens tothe kits.

I have a problem with it when people selltheir babies to random people, they ask no questions they just want themoney.

I seriously could go ON and ON, but I wont.

What really irks me off is when they thinkthey will be making a little cash off of the babies.

Here is my gains and losses this year....

Had a litter of 5 babies.....

At 2 weeks they all had to go to the vet for a check up = - $60

At 4 weeks one of the babies had to go in for a check up = - $35

Sold 3 babies for $30 each =+$90

Another baby had a spinal injury and was brought to the vets = - $200

Then the baby passed away.

So in all I made a whopping - $205

I am 16 years old ok, I onlymake $100 a week, and %50 of the money I make goes to therabbits.

I WISH PEOPLE WOULD THINK ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE DOING!!

Amy, as usual, you're right.

But, in this person's defense, perhaps he/ she is feeling their loss ina way we cannot fathom. We all feel a little guilty with the loss ofour animals - "I woulda, coulda, shoulda...."

My concern here, as I am sure is everyone else's, is to keep thisposter stays here, so that she / he might learn some more and ensurethat the remaining 2 buns come out ok!

I know how beneficial you ALL have been for me!

 

[ayglnu13]

All of her babiesdied (I believe), for which I feel horrible. I lost my two babies aswell So I do know how she feels. But the rabbit came to thempregnant, so is there really a reason to rebreed?

What if the same thing happens? Do you really want to go through it again?

I do not want to pushanyoneaway from this forum, that was not my intent, I wouldNEVER do that, ever. But I felt like this person wasnt as informed (asare MANY people that come on this board) about breeding as he/shecouldbe.

And I always speak my mind, andthat was what came out, and I am not taking back anything I saidbecause it was just facts.

Like I said I have NO problem withbreeding, but this person was asking the most simple questions aboutit. So why shouldnt I assume that she didnt know about breeding.

And it really irks me that she wouldrather eat her pet then spay it, what the heck is up withthat????!

Amy, I really couldn't have agreed with you morewith respect to this issue. We're in the same corner for sure, myfriend. No matter how wonderful buns are, the world doesn't need moreuneducated, uncalculated births.

You're also right that there seems to be a tremendous number of thesefirst time "breeders" on lately. I still don't know much about buns,but I do know that there are too many already out there.

No, I think she has two remaining buns, the mama and one remaining kit, who wasn't acting right. Perhaps, I'm wrong though....?

Sorry about your loss.
