We live about dead center of nowhere & there have been times when I took some extreme measures getting our animals to the vet. They are more important than we are. For other stuff, I've tried online vets and great success. It's pretty amazing they can diagnose & treat problems without physically...

There is no law "yet" that says everyone must agree on everything. Even if we have opposing views, I'd fight to my death supporting your right to express your opinion. I somewhat mentioned this previously... without open discussion & the sharing of ideas, we can't evolve. Even if such a...

Thank you. I'd like to propose that we forget about the past & move on to more productive conversation.

Pretty sure we are exactly on the same page. I doubt your rabbit had a clue anything was "off" except for the unnatural part of hanging upside down. I can't imagine that causing pain. Confusion perhaps but no pain. My grandfather taught me how to butcher / process rabbits & other game animals...

I conceed that I may be way off on this, putting light on a problem that may not even exist. However... what if the concensus is wrong? I don't know anyone here but would bet not a single person would be willing to cause unnecessary pain & suffering to a rabbit. Some very comforting evidence...

Getting back on topic... This is obviously a very difficult topic. But, it needs to be discussed. I realize using animals for food has been going on since the beginning of time. I can't imagine any sane person that enjoys taking a life. Often necessity overides feelings. This isn't about that...

I tried that. Obviously it didn't work. I even sent a private message but the response has only been the sound of crickets. Hopefully "someone" will read the TOS concerning personal attacks before they are subject to civil litigation. I can afford a long legal battle, especially at their...

Dear ..... (we don't call people names on this forum) I came here to learn more about rabbits so I can provide the best care possible. I had high hopes you were done but apparently I was wrong. Note that you don't know me, my son or my wife. As if it's any of your business, my wife and I have...

Not many things are worse than losing your dog. I'm truly sorry & feel your pain. I lost my best friend just over 4 years ago and it still hurts. I tried toughing it out but still cried like a little girl and was bumping into walls for days. The only consolation was he had the life too many dogs...

I didn't come here to fight or argue.

Welcome to Arizona! And the best forums on the Internet! I'm quite familiar with the area you chose. I live here myself. Don't write off large animals just yet. Specifically horses. I hope not, but there may come a time in the very near future where they would be a necessity. In many cases you...

Absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

That's awesome! I didn't know it was safe to handle them that young. It's amazingly how much I've learned here already.

We built a rabbit hotel in the barn & all but "Snack" moved in without issues. He's still in the house living the good life. The little ones have been eating pellets & hay the past few days. I suspect they are still nursing too but I haven't watched them 24/7 to confirm that. I've been...

To answer your question... curiosity. Like I said, I don't have any issues with death. Being a Vietnam vet and retired peace officer, I've seen far more than my fair share of it. Perhaps that's part of my problem. It's becoming dead that I have problems with. I grew up on a ranch where is was...

I really hope that's the case. To back up your claim, I thought again to the decapitation of people. One would expect that having your head completely severed would be astonishingly painful, if... you could feel it. So painful in fact that 100% of your concentration would be on that. So based...

The following can be quite disturbing to some so you may want to stop here. After watching the video above, I was temporarily relieved that the rabbit died instantly, without any pain, suffering or even realizing what had happened. Then logic took over causing me to do some research. Severing...

Wow! That certainly did the job. At least it was instant & painless. While that satisfied my curiosity, it's still not something I'm capable of... At least not for myself. Thanks.

I don't understand the method but really like the thought that they aren't aware of what's happening. I don't have a problem with being dead, it's becoming dead that I have issues with. I want to die in my sleep. Not screaming in terror like the passengers in the car I'm driving at the time. 😉

She knew the risk when she took the job. The best part is that our son thinks & acts exactly like me. Poor girl doesn't stand a chance. Here's another funny story... from our point of view, not hers. Many of you have seen the video of Bigfoot walking in the forest, beside a stream. I think it's...
