Have never posted before, but thats not really relevant. My problem is, where I live (a kind of complex of houses where we all live fairly closely) there is a family who have two cats and two rabbits. They are a lovely family , cultured, educated, nice but seem to have a blind spot where animal care is concerned. The cats I'm not too concerned about because they seem okay but the rabbits seem to hardly ever get their bedding changed, are often without adequate food and often the water bottle bottle is empty.
The mother leaves the care up to the 14 year old daughter, who needs checking up on obviously. I have spoken to the mom quite often, about this in nice ways and more bluntly as its gone on and on (I heard she referred to me as the rabbit police) and have often stepped in to supplement their food/water because it upsets me to see them needing stuff. They are in a large run (very muddy currently ) and were left in a draughty leaky hutch over xmas with no straw, they were wet and cold. (I stepped in and waterproofed it).
So- what would you do? ignoring it is not an option for me. I would really like to give the rabbits away while they're out but perhaps it's a bit drastic.The point being, I have spoken about it to them till I'm blue in the face and I'm fed up!! I realise this is in the am I being unreasonable thread, I dont need reassurance that I'm not being unreasonable, I dont want to only post among animal lovers though.
