Something to think about today!
The silent suffering of bunnies and guinea pigs 😔
When I joined this family three years ago, I was allowed to jump around in an open enclosure in the summer and was even brought into the house more often.
I was given fresh food every day, and clean water. Also, my hutch was regularly cleaned.
Having to live alone in my hutch was always lonely and boring, when I was with my mother and siblings there was always something going on but the child of the family would come a pet me.
Now the child is 12 and thinks I’m boring.
He would rather have a now ... 🐕
So I've been sitting in my dirty hutch all alone for ages now!
If I'm lucky, once a day the door opens and someone remembers to give me
pellets where I prefer greens a lot.
Sometimes I get a carrot or some dandelion it makes me really happy.
My water is often inedible because it is not changed for days on end.
I'm drowning in my own dirt so to speak!
In the winter I freeze because no one bothers to carry my cage into the basement like they used to.
Besides, I am often very thirsty, but my water bottle is frozen and my people don't see it.
When it rains I sit in the back corner of my hutch because no one cares that it leeks when it rains.
Then I squat in the wet mess and feel terribly uncomfortable.
I'm having diarrhea, my butt is covered with poo.
My people think this is disgusting but so do I !
I have a stomach ache and feet have sores on them from having to sit on wet filth because my hutch is rarely cleaned these days. A vet could surely help but that costs money .
But I'm just a 🐇
In the summer, it’s unbearably hot in here but I look outside and see a beautiful garden, with juicy grass, and there are sooo many delicious daisies and wish I could enjoy all this.
I feel unwell and my joins are so stiff from having to sit in a small space all the time, I long to be able to run and jump and play.
Again and again I envy the that sneak through the yard and don't have to sit in a small jail.
Then I picture myself jumping across the meadow and playing with other rabbits.
I sometimes just wish I could vent like this I can barely move in my dirty prison 😔
Unfortunately, I can't make my people understand how sad I am. They don't understand my languages and they don't see my tears!
What did I do to be treated this way!?
I was always sweet, always let everything go over me, never scratched or even bit!
Why don't they at least take me to an animal shelter, maybe I'd find a friend and a nicer family
I don't know how much longer I can handle this long lonely uncomfortable existence and I am becoming very depressed.
I could still live for many many more years!
I hope for a life after death, a life without people locking me in a cage, a life with huge meadows, and many peers.
With fresh green food and clean drinking water!
And so I continue to suffer silently because people have lost interest in me and don’t understand my language and don't see my tears!
So I have to pass away first to be able to live 😔
Don't look away and give us a voice! A hutch is never enough!
