I am extra disappointed to read this started with a teacher dumping classroom rabbits. It’s so widespread and accepted, this idea that bringing animals into the classroom is useful to teach our children… but, teach them what? We’ve taken this phenomenon for granted, so we no longer consider its supposed benefits; but what are the benefits of abandoning a domesticated animal – an animal we have raised to be dependent on humans – into the wild where it must fend for itself, and into an ecosystem not prepared to handle it? So sad. Hopefully the influx of tourism will raise the issue and spur a TNR program. (However, it’s not the year of the rabbit yet! The new year isn’t until 3 February .
