| The site of the Easter egg hunt didn't seem so cheerful three days later |
Don't give a bunny or a baby chicken as a gift on Easter you monster. Because that is something that occurred to you to do I guess? Yo, who are all these perverts giving bunnies as Easter gifts that I've never heard of until now that necessitate all these internet PSAs I'm seeing people share on my feed? THERE'S A FUCKING BUNNY HOLOCAUST IN THE WORKS. I never even realized.
Apparently this is an epidemic. Here's one:
The Humane Society of the United States is asking people to refrain from acquiring live chicks and rabbits as Easter gifts this holiday season. Young, adorable animals mature quickly into adults and need daily care for the rest of their lives. Instead of live animals as gifts, consider giving children a plush toy or a chocolate rabbit.
Who's getting all these weird Easter gifts anyway?
Here's another one:
After cats and dogs, rabbits are the animals most frequently surrendered to animal shelters, largely because people acquire them as youngsters but aren’t prepared for the long-term commitment involved.
And another:
...the majority of baby chicks that are given as Easter gifts suffer and die from lack of proper care and stress within a few weeks of the holiday. Most purchasers give little consideration to the special feeding, care and handling their new pet requires and after the novelty wears off, do not have the time, facilities or adequate information to care for these animals properly.
Jesus Christ this is like a torture porn movie over here.
Then, too, young children squeeze and cuddle baby animals, resulting in broken bones, internal injuries and death for these delicate creatures. Many are killed and injured by dogs and cats. As the animals grow and the children get bored, these animals are neglected in backyard pens or dumped outside to return to the wild, where they die from predation, starvation or exposure. Many of them flood into shelters where they must be killed because nobody wants them.Torture and death is kind of fitting given the theme of Easter, which is, I suppose, the most torture-y of religious holidays besides Dick Cheney's birthday. Maybe those bunnies are just kidding about dying of starvation/smashed bunny bones and are going to show back up in a couple days to haunt your grandmother forever? I've heard of weirder miracles.

I could totally see O'Neil pulling some Higher Learning shit here.
"You support rabbits? 2012 bunny!" And then he shoots the track star bunny's gf from atop the campus building.
What kind of retard strength do small children possess these days to turn a bunny into a tube of toothpaste?
"Gently, Stephan, gently."
"Dawwww I brokeded it Daaaadddy!"
"Goddammit every fucking Easter! This fucking kid! Honey, look what your son did again. Those are entrails! $3.99 right down the shitter."
ha! used to back that movie hard!
Eating them is ok I guess?
My sister got a bunny for Easter one year. It lived a long life and we took care of it. When it was dying though, it was having a heart attack and spasming all over the place. My sister came in screaming into the room me and my brother were in playing games on the computer or something and she threw it in the air when I said it looks like it is dying. I always thought that was weird. At least she lived her whole life.
Also what the fuck is that a picture of at the top?
That sounds like the set up up to a well written short story about quiet domestic epiphanies. Write it!
THink it's a hunting day or something?
Also bunnies are one thing, getting a little kid a chick is just stupid. People think this way about animals, that they are like toys. They think this way about people too though.
I was hanging out with both my brother and sister a few weeks ago and the rabbit dying came up and they started laughing and my sister said something like, "haha, every time I tell that it gets a lot of laughs" and my brother was like, "no way me too!". I always felt awful because I wasn't surprised when it died etc, but wasn't as emotional as them at the time and now they think it's funny, they are fucked up. I don't blame them though.
OMG!
