People seem to like transparency, even if it’s negative. So here it goes.
Since we stopped helping shockingly sick rabbits and hoarding cases, we’re slowing closing without even having to do anything. Because half wilds are pretty healthy most of the time and for some reason that doesn’t qualify them for public help.
October was the best month we’ve had in donations this year.
We only took the new litter of half wilds because we thought via other communications that the vet costs were already covered. But unfortunately things didn’t work out so we launched the fund raiser. It took us 4 MONTHS to raise less than £500 towards bills of over £3000.
Was this still my fault? Of course! Was it irresponsible, of course! Have I learnt my lesson, absolutely.
And my lesson is that LP currently has 24 rabbits and it will remain that way.
PLEASE do not send me anymore messages of desperate half wilds stuck in hutches or with “no where to go”
I’ve already turned down 4 more stressed and scared half wilds. But it must be done. Because I don’t want to be irresponsible. I want to do things right.
Animals rely on us to make the right decisions to keep them safe.
Up until 2 years ago I did everything as a rescue SHOULD! I had good reserves and was extremely sensible with money and was proud of how I ran LP. But the pressure of social media and other outside factors have ruined my focus.
It stops now. I’m sorry rabbits.
I will be adding items for sale to the page to help clear the £4000 ish in bills we have. Because we are still committed to these 24 rabbits for the rest of their lives.
And as always, thank you so much to everyone who chooses to support these looked over rabbits 💚
