VRRA is against cruelty or neglect of rabbits whether they be house pets or farm animals. Not all the views expressed by articles presented on this page are necessarily those of VRRA.
Chocolate magazine runs an ad for dog coats made of rabbit fur.
From Tricia Aviss, a VRRA member:
A Canadian home magazine- Chocolat www.chocolatmagazine.ca - has been advertising a Rabbit Fur Dog Coat in their "Perfect Presents for Pets" section (I guess rabbits don't count as pets). I couldn't be more appalled, some idiots are out there buying these monstrous "gifts" to put on their dogs, who already have fur, and are fueling the demand for them from the idiot company cruel enough to make them, Romy & Jacob www.romyandjacob.com .

We would love for all the bunny lovers, who will be as angry to see this
as we are, to email the company who makes them and the magazine for being
so insensitive to advertise for them. We hope to make the magazine apologize
and the company stop making these ridiculous coats.
Remember to name Chocolate magazine because the company has many
magazines.

Pet Store Rabbits.
Many rabbits are purchased on impulse from pet stores. Children and adults see the cute baby bunnies and want one without thinking about how to properly care for them or what exactly they are supporting by buying one. Where do these bunnies come from and what often happens to them? Some are impulse purchases that quickly wear out their welcome. (Read Leo's story) Some even end up back in the pet store!
