You Would ♥ To Buy A Bunny After The Movie?


Many bunny lovers will be buzzing with excitement to catch this new movie "Hop" which has landed on our local shore recently, myself included.

As indicated on the Golden Village website, the movie is a movie "blending state of the art animation with live action, Hop is a comedy about E.B, the teenage son of the Easter Bunny."

Bunny lovers will be excited about catching the movie because, well, we love bunnies and everything about them. Others may be inclined to catch the movie due to a multitude of other reasons; some perhaps to placate their children who would love to watch a cartoon about anything soft and fluffy, others to placate their girlfriends who would love to watch a cartoon about anything soft and fluffy.

But our point here is, watch the show but don't get impulsive. DO NOT watch the movie then rush out to the nearest pet shop because you want a fluffy, little cute bunny too. Sure, we understand the feeling of extreme exuberance in buying something on an impulse. But when you buy a bunny, you're talking about being responsible for a life. Granted that they are small and do not bug you like noisy children, but they do require a great amount of care and attention too. Most of all, they are a 10-year commitment!

And if you really want a bunny, why not do a good deed and browse through the House Rabbit Society Singapore's (HRSS) website and find out more about taking care of a bunny. When you are finally sure that is THE pet for you, adopt instead of buying. There are so many lovely bunnies there, all in need of the love and attention that you are bursting to share. There are so many abandoned bunnies out there that HRSS is up to their neck with in caring for as many of them as possible. But if no one is adopting these lovelies from HRSS, where are they going to find room to house more abandoned bunnies that they rescue? Wouldn't it be much better opening your heart to these unwanted lovelies rather than opening your wallet to buy a bunny, knowing that for every bunny sold, another bunny will soon be placed in the same slot as a replacement to be sold?

Well, we've aired our opinion about buying bunnies after the movie. But the point is, do you support our opinion on this as well?

P/S - We're sure alot of pet shops selling live bunnies will not be too happy after reading this post. But well, this post is strictly written IN OUR OPINION and we're not sorry about it. Oh, and HRSS's website is http://www.hrss.net. There you go!

"My Bunny & I" Contest Results

Regardless of why you are here, we are sure you share a common bond with us. Simply, you love your rabbit(s)! And if you're like most pet owners, you probably think that your pet bunny is the cutest and have submitted a picture of your bunny and you for our "My Bunny & I" photo contest.

As the response for the contest was just overwhelmingly awesome, we had a really difficult time picking out the best 3 entries for the hamper worth more than SGD$60.00 each when the contest ended on 30 September 2010. In fact, we were still trying to select the winners up to the last few hours before we announced the winners on 4 October 2010.
Eventually, we selected 3 main prize winners + 1 additional special winner. The additional prize worth more than SGD$25.00 went to our youngest participant for the contest. After all, we believe in spreading the love for animals to the young because we believe that all good habits start young!

Here are the winning pictures and a mini-interview on the winners and their furry friends! Simply click on the picture and it will link you to our FB page with the winning entry that you would like to view (Since the print from the email interview looks really puny here).
