Hoppy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving Message from Bunny World Foundation

Historically, Thanksgiving began as a tradition to give thanks for a good harvest and rejoice together with the rest of the community after much arduous work. What better time to celebrate our TWELVE-and-a-half-year voyage and give thanks to ALL who have contributed to our Mission!

We especially thank each Foster and Volunteer who has given his/her time, energy, and commitment to BWF during the most recent tragedy that riddled California (and the rest of the world) with incalculable pain and suffering. Nevertheless, the rescue efforts continued because, more than ever, bunnies needed us. The COVID presented a "tiny" challenge for logistics, while a human factor (those awful humans without any shred of decency and integrity) made our efforts even more difficult. However, we persevered. The display of SOLIDARITY, COMPASSION, and GENEROSITY exceeded our expectations. Heroes emerged. Bunny Love won!

Since April, almost 300 displaced bunnies were re-homed by Bunny World Foundation. It took a COMMUNITY to move mountains, and without ALL of us doing our parts, we couldn't have made a dent. Some of our heroes showed up at EVERY WEEKLY ADOPTION EVENT volunteering 12 – 16 hour shifts. Often our brushing circles turned into drumming circles. When it rained and got cold, we got tents and lit the fire; the work went on. We committed to the lives we saved to ensure that our rescued bunnies thrived with a positive vibration.

Thank you for showing your support through thick and thin; especially during times of crisis, for we couldn't possibly overcome them if it weren't for YOU!

Today, as bunny-loving families across America are seated at their Thanksgiving tables; their companion bunnies enjoying all the privileges of a beloved family member, it's more important than EVER to remember the millions of homeless bunnies suffering in high-kill shelters, bunny mills, labs, backyard breeders, fur farms, and abattoirs.

People are unaware that most animal cruelty laws exempt farmed animals, and rabbits are not covered under federal humane slaughter laws. Their suffered lives and painful, terrifying deaths for any Holiday celebration are unconscionable.

That said - the road ahead remains rocky, with many challenges, but continue we must, and we thank you for your loyal support of our efforts to make the world a better place for our much-loved companions.
