...and I had my rabbitry nicely settled. My landlord had a hairy fit about the rabbits
Apparently, thirteen rabbits are "a commercial operation" and just not acceptable.
So....I gave the SF to a friend because I really didn't want to put them in the freezer if I didn't have to, even with the idiot doe being evil whenever she saw me.
Since I was a bit upset about having to move the rabbits yet again, I was less than diplomatic when describing what I might need to do if I couldn't find a spot for them. The landlords reply was "You don't have to kill them! Can't you just take them to a shelter?!"
Like I'm going to take three years of work to a shelter :evil:
I explained that I show my rabbits and these aren't just any old critter I picked up from a pet store, I work very on my herd to make sure I've got the best stock I can....blah, blah, blah is all he heard. I was given two weeks to get them gone or go with them, he didn't much care which.
Long story short, I managed to find another place after much panic. I'd even checked with a couple of stables about renting a stall. In the end, a very good friend gave me space in their pole barn and is doing the feeding for me so I don't have to drive 40 minutes twice a day (only three or four times a week instead)
I really didn't think there would be such an issue over them since I had permission for animals already, I was keeping everything very clean. Hubs said I was cleaning the rabbitry more the than the house.
It's not like I had people showing up at all hours for small suspicious packages. But then again, where I live that's far more 'normal' behaviour
I need to move *sigh*. I don't understand the average person obviously.
