Educating
Educating can be done formally, as an official MCRS representative, and informally, as a bunny companion. Every time you tell a story about something that your rabbit (or a rabbit you know) did, you are teaching people that bunnies are not boring. How else can you "Everyday Educate"? A few examples are listed here, but if you want more detail, read an article from a past newsletter.
- Keep a picture of your bunny on your desk at work; especially if the bunny is being a house bunny (i.e., not in a cage and not obviously posed).
- Wear a t-shirt or sweatshirt that talks about bunnies being all-year pets or advertises MCRS.
- Tell stories about your bunny or a bunny you know.
- When shopping for supplies at the pet supply store, speak up if you see someone looking confused in the bunny aisle. "My bunny likes..." and "Do you have a bunny?" are great conversation starters.
- Talk to people who are thinking about getting a rabbit. Be sure to let them know that in addition to being cute, bunnies can be a lot of work and are not always cuddly and sweet.
