Minions for Munchkins - Ideas of charity

[dungeonbunnies]

I would like some opinions from some other rabbit people.

I'm trying to launch an internet-based company that I call "Minions for Munchkins" in memory of Minion, who was my therapy pet.

I've posted pictures of some of the Minions I've already made on my thread about crafting... I haven't sold any Minions yet, but I'm planning on donating a percentage of profits to humane societies.

My other idea came when a friend posted a photo of a urine burned doe that was recently brought into a shelter in Boston, MA. I wish I lived closer, I would bring her home and love her forever, but I can't, I'm too far, and out of space. So in my desperate wish to do more, I was considering making Minions of some rabbits in shelters or rescues. When that Minion sells, the ENTIRE profit will be donated to that shelter to sponsor that animal.

I'm hoping that the spotlight of attention on that rabbit will help them find a forever home, and if not, it will help care for the animal until the right person/family comes along.

What do you ladies and gents think?

I like that idea

I also like the idea and I would love to buy a Minion! I think they're adorable.

 

[dungeonbunnies]

I'm also thinking of charging a "special edition" price for them, since all profit goes entirely to that animal.

This is 1 year old Malaika, she's a NZ cross like our Caerbannog and Artemis. She's badly urine burned, and emaciated. My heart instantly went out to her, and she will be the first "Minion in Need" toy

This idea is awesome. It's cool that you'd be putting the money towards rabbit orgs. They never get enough funding.

 

[dungeonbunnies]

I know, it's really sad. I wish I could adopt them all, but no more space. So this is the next best thing that we can do!

I'm not sure how we're going to pick which bun to make a Minon of... that's my only problem. I know that there's so many that need help.

 

[dungeonbunnies]

I think we may go with having rescues/shelters email me a photo and quick blurb of one of their rabbits, and then voting will take place on the Minions for Munchkins FB page.

Go on facebook and start "liking" all sorts of bunny rescue pages. You'll find tons of bunnies who need help there.

 

[dungeonbunnies]

I know there's rescues on here as well, but it's picking which one to make a Minion of that i'm trying to figure out.

 

[Imbrium]

oh god, that poor bunny!! I'll totally buy the minion to help her out, she definitely needs it

 

[dungeonbunnies]

PM me for the link to the Facebook page. Mini-Malaika will be posted there as soon as she's done!

 

[CosmosMomma]

Awee! Poor Malaika Whoever let her get like that needs to be slapped!

 

[dungeonbunnies]

I agree, Megz. It's ridiculous how they could let her get that way. But it does happen, a lot more frequently than we realize.

 

[littl3red]

How does that even happen? Do they just never clean the cage? That's horrible...

 

[dungeonbunnies]

Not sure, but even if they didn't clean the cage, it'd have to have been pretty bad for the stains to be all over her back and everything

do you have to have facebook to see the facebook page? 'cause I have this inexplicable hatred of social networking sites and refuse to create a facebook account. I'm weird like that. I'll totally buy the Malaika minion as long as I don't have to log into facebook, heh.

 

[whitelop]

I totally agree with Jennifer. I hate facebook and as much as I would love to buy Minions to help buns, I won't do facebook!
hahaha.

 

[CosmosMomma]

I don't think facebook as a "buy" feature anyway It would be Etsy or something similar!
