Happy Belated National Day!!
Ooppss... I haven't been updating about them for quite some time now. Work has been crazy and I am shifting to my new place sometime in September. Told the 4 that they would be going to live in a new place soon. Hope to bond all 4 at the new place! Hehe... Wish me luck!Anyway, it was National Day yesterday. Not that they knew. But thinking that, life for a Singaporean rabbit is really tough. Living with so many misconceptions about them... for e.g. rabbits eat only carrots, they can be picked up by the ears... they love the sun, the sand and the sea and therefore can be set free... blah-blah-blah... it seems like they have never really changed people's perceptions of them, 10 years ago and 10 years on, so to speak...
But I guess being part of HRSS has helped in a way. You realise that you can do more to improve the welfare of animals, generally speaking, in Singapore. They are still treated like second-class citizens here. They are being discarded irresponsibly when they reach their you-aint-that-cute-anymore date. I believe more can be done to educate people to behave responsibly towards their pets.
A Singaporean rabbit has to put up with the lack of space that we can have for them. Most of us live in small apartments. We hardly have space for ourselves, so what can we say for our 4-legged friends? He has to put up with the weather, warm all year round. And if you are a long-haired Singaporean rabbit, good luck!
But I know my 4 babies at home are lucky. They have an owner who dotes on them like crazy. They get mad at me for disturbing them at times.. Hehe.. They have friends to bully and toys to play with. Life is good for them, I hope. :)
Happy National Day, babies!
