TRAs online attack on a bunny rescue

Goodness, Howard, I preferred it when you were in the bank adverts. Don't be such a show off!

Super picture thank you LaLoba!

The lady bunny doesn't look very interested, does she??

I admit that it took me a few seconds to work out which way she was facing, but then I spotted the ears at the front, and that confirmed.. sorry, Howard, she's just not that into you

Aiden comerford is one of the worst of the MRAs and TRAs I've ever had the misfortune to learn about. Thank goodness I refuse to do social media (well, apart from fabulous Mumsnet of course).

Edited to say: those bunnies are so cute. TRAs proving once again that they are completely mental.

Sad, nasty little fucker.

Sometimes male bunnies will binky to show off to the ladies, as demonstrated by Howard here. It took me many failed attempts to get this picture at the right moment!

Jeez. Just jeez. They don't care who, do they? No, they just want to spew their poison, in the delusion that it's righteous.

Thank you Chompsky, that's some seeerious leaping! And managing to look so very cute throughout is such a skill, not a hare hair out of place.

I suspect those ears have some kind of aerodynamic lift input into the leaping..

How thick are they? So from what I can make out, 4 tra's started attacking this other rabbit sanctuary, because what? Rabbit sanctuary = death star?
And two of the four had actually contacted the sanctuary in the past for bunny related advice.
Honestly. Not the sharpest. Or nicest.
Unlike whoever runs the sanctuary who sounds amazing.

Who could have predicted we Leporidae would get drafted to the cause?

I've never been captured in a binky, but here's a garden variety leap (in three parts), offered for your entertainment. Followed by something I like to call Yo!

Ironically, in Taiwan, the Rabbit God watches over the LGBTQ community: Now in its 16th year, Weiming Temple in New Taipei City continues to provide good luck in love and marriage to Taiwan’s gay community

Who knew that you rabbits had your own terminology for things you do?

Naturellement I went straight to google and found this
A rabbit may binky whenever:

• It anticipates eating or after it has eaten its favorite food or a treat.
• It is let outside to run around and play.
• It gets the chance to just hang out with you after a long day.

So as well as learning a new word, I now have a new phrase:
'Happy as a binkying bunny''
[thanks for the bunny emojis, MNHQ, very prescient, they've really come into their own on this thread]
[but prepared to be attacked by TRAs for having bunny-related emojis]

Yes, me too, I started following them because the TRAs were gunning for the bunnies, and now have beautiful rabbit pix daily! Stuff the TRAs, they need toe get a life, rather than trying to wreck other people’s.😍

@MarieDeGournay they were sooo cute and one of them was called Nelly and she did that jumping up in the air thing that lambs do - gambolling, I think it's called

We call it a binky. Google for examples and be prepared to be overwhelmed with cuteness.

I went to look at Aidan Comerford's Twitter account for something completely different to this story and what do you know? He's also involved with attacking Carrot cottage rabbit rescue.

My 76 year old mother is very ill in hospital and my 80 year GC father is very very low and struggling to cope.

To cheer him up I told him about The Transphobic Bunnies. (trademark pending). He's quite delighted and has now for the first time joined X and as of about 30 minutes ago has begun following The Carrots.

You know when you have an unsettled night's sleep for some reason, and after a few hours of unrefreshing sleep you wake up and remember weird dreams you had.

Like there was this animal sanctuary, right, that had only had rabbits - well there was a lovely puppy too but 99% rabbits - and they were sooo cute and one of them was called Nelly and she did that jumping up in the air thing that lambs do - gambolling, I think it's called - I hope lambs gambol responsibly, because otherwise they'll get fleeced - and then the rabbit sanctuary was attacked by a bunch of, like, trans rights activists because the rabbits were transphobic or JKR did something hateful once related to rabbits like giving a chocolate Easter bunny with a little bell around its neck to one of her kids or something - anyhooo the TRAs were trying to shut it down and all the bunnies would die... and then I woke up, wondering what it was I had eaten the night before to have such a ridiculous dream!

The phrase 'you couldn't make it up' is overused, but this is a dictionary definition of it. As is 'shooting yourself in the foot in a nation of animal lovers'!

The bunnies are lovely, as are the people at both sanctuaries

I also saw this on twitter and following-now my timeline is full of lovely bunnies.

Think they went after him and then his funding and status-it is ridiculous

Bruce is absolutely blooming gorgeous.

When the trans activists found that they couldn't immediately shut down Carrot cottage rabbit rescue, they decided that there was another bunny sanctuary, The Tranquil Rabbit Sanctuary, that had some association with the first sanctuary, and was smaller and more vulnerable, so they then started to attack them as well:

🤣 but also 💯 for showing what the problem is

Good grief! I bet the Charity Commission looked at the complaint:

"Waaah! They followed JK Rowling! Execute them to death until they are dead, then kill them again!"

... and concluded that it had been a not quite rational person, shall we say?

I truly think that the TRAs thought the bunny rescue was run by a bullyable woman. I follow them now, as well.

Hadn’t heard about the greyhound rescue, no but that sounds appalling.
But tbh it does usually work the other way round. If you need fund raise in the UK, piss off the TRAs and they’ll do the rest for you. Attracts thousands of followers and donations in mere fraction of the time traditional methods take. Us terfy witches and our disposable income, what are we like, eh? Tsk.

Absolutely. Just when you think they can't get any lower...they come for the bunnies.😕

Did you read the post about the greyhound sanctuary being shut down by trans activists in Australia? It doesn't say what drew the TA's ire but the sanctuary dealt with the greyhound racing industry so they were leveraged against the sanctuary, if I understood correctly.

So, what then happened to the dogs? Death, I'd imagine.

TRAs - so kind, so caring.

The Charity Commission involvement seems drastic but it sounds as though at least one sensible suggestion was made and adopted (a complaint form on their website) so perhaps some good came from it.
