Two Vancouver-based rabbit advocacy groups are joining forces to kick off their inaugural Easter celebration.
Presented by Rabbitats Rescue Society and 麻豆传媒映画Rabbit Rescue and Advocacy, the Easter Bunny Bunanza aims to familiarize the public with the animal with petting and feeding activities and information on proper rabbit care.
A course will also be set up for rabbit agility demonstrations.
Founder of Rabbitats Rescue Society, Sorelle Saidman said above all the event is meant to bring a greater awareness of rabbit adoption and the realities of owning a pet.
鈥淲e want people to know they are sweet friendly awesome little pets. But we also want them to know what it takes to have a rabbit as a pet,鈥� she said.
Saidman encourages prospective owners to听adopt rescue rabbits rather than buying them from pet stores. 听
鈥淭hat way if it doesn't work out, you can always take the bunny back. And the rabbit will already be spayed or neutered and checked over for health issues,鈥� she said.
Event participants can expect 鈥渁ll things bunny鈥� including bunny-themed crafts, baked goods and a 鈥渕eet 鈥檔 treat,鈥� where curious participants can feed the rabbits.
