Every year billions of animals are killed for food, fur, laboratory experiments, or are used and abused for entertainment. There are small things we can do to stop or help reduce this cruelty to animals. Living closely with such sensitive, vulnerable animals, we know how much bunnies love to live, have fun and how smart they are. But we should also realize that they are not the only animals who suffer at the hands of humans. Cows, pigs, chickens, turkeys, etc. have feelings of fear, pain and love - they are cute and loving too!

To help reduce the suffering of these defenseless, voiceless animals, the best thing we can do is to avoid supporting people or companies who profit from their suffering.

Read the book "Wild Neighbors" from the Humane Society of the US to learn effective, permanent ways to deter wild animals from your house and backyard:
