        This is taken from the RabbitWise website:

        September 25th: International Rabbit Day

        10 Ways To Honor Rabbits On International Rabbit Day

        1) Buy a cruelty-free product. These are any items whose ingredients have not been tested on animals. Look for the Leaping Bunny logo. Some brands include Jason, Avalon, Aveda, etc. For more info about companies with cruelty-free products, visit http://www.leapingbunny.org or click on their link on RabbitWise’s Rabbit Advocate page. They will send you a free pocketsize shopping guide upon request.

        (2) Write a letter to a restaurant you know has rabbit on the menu and request that they remove it. Recently a local Maryland restaurant, Café des Artistes, agreed to stop serving rabbit when The Natural Rabbit group, RabbitWise® volunteers and other devoted rabbit lovers flooded the owners with letters and information about rabbits. Your voice matters!

        (3) On September 24, have a vegetarian meal. Rabbits really dig their salads! Learn to eat like a rabbit.

        (4) Volunteer for a rabbit rescue or advocacy group (like RabbitWise!®) or help out at a local animal shelter. Saving an animal’s life enriches the soul and uplifts the human race.

        (5) Foster a rabbit and experience the joy of sharing your home with one. Many rabbit rescue groups can assist you with finding a rabbit. Visit RabbitWise®’s Adopt A Rescued Rabbit page for links to our local rabbit shelters and organizations.

        (6) Make a donation to an animal shelter, rabbit rescue and advocacy group. Funds are always desperately needed to provide medical care for fostered and abandoned rabbits, to promote education about rabbits, and to find rabbits good homes.

        (7) Shop at http://www.cafépress.com. Many groups, such as RabbitWise® and House Rabbit Society, have stores located there with items for sale, e.g. tote bags, mugs, T-shirts, even lunch boxes and camisoles! A percentage of the profit goes to support these groups to help the rabbits.

        (8) For the next celebration, a child’s birthday, baby shower, or other special occasion, introduce children to rabbits and humane care of all living beings early in their development. Get a rabbit doll or books with rabbits as main characters, such as Beatrix Potter’s Peter Rabbit Stories.

        (9) Send a letter to Animal Planet on cable or PBS, and tell them that you want to see some shows/documentaries about rabbits. They are one of the least understood animals and sadly, exploited as food, fur, and fiber. We need to get the word out how wonderful these creatures are to stop this exploitation.

        (10) Boycott shops that sell rabbit fur clothing and linings. Write letters to their corporate headquarters and complain. For example: Lord and Taylor is currently selling a whole line of rabbit fur items. UGG boots, a very popular item from last year, has just released a new line of $400 boots trimmed in rabbit fur.

        Remember the rabbits
        Whose fur coats have been flayed,
        Whose lives have been wasted
        Their beauty betrayed.

        Remember the rabbits
        Whom hounds chase to ground
        For man’s brutal sport And his money,
        ill-found.

        Remember the rabbits
        Who lie dead on man’s plate
        To satisfy gluttonous tastes –
        Such a waste!

        Remember the rabbits
        Who pine in pet stores
        Too young to leave mama
        Still, there to be sold.

        Remember the rabbits
        Alone in the labs
        Their heads locked in stocks
        Red eyes burned,
        red eyes sad.

        Remember the rabbits
        Whose lives we have saved
        Who’ve moved far away
        From premature graves.

        Remember the rabbits
        Who share our own beds
        Who purr in our arms
        When we stroke their soft heads.

        Remember our rabbits
        Who’ve hopped to the Bridge
        Who live in our hearts
        May we meet again.

        Remember the rabbits
        On this, their own day,
        On all of their lives
        Let us contemplate and pray.

          That’s so funny because Sept 25th is also my wedding anniversary. I never knew it was rabbit day too! (also didn’t realize DH’s birthday is National Talk Like a Pirate Day)

          We’ll have to honor our two little monsters this Sunday 🙂

              Guess my two will own the house that day – doubly so since it’s National Rabbit Day in the Year of the Rabbit!
