We would like to thank all our supporters for spreading the word about our campaign, whether you have printed off and put up a poster, have a car sticker displayed on your car or are looking at fund raising for us by baking some cakes and selling them to your friends or colleagues.

This Easter we have several pets shops who are taking part in a rabbit amnesty, agreeing not to sell rabbits over the Eater period.

Our work doesn’t end at Easter, the impulse purchase of rabbits does not just occur at Easter and is not just a seasonal problem, it happens thoughout the year. We must all continue to work together, in the long term we will make a difference.

So thank you all, we could not achieve anything without your continued and growing support.

Campaign crosses the Solent http://www.makeminechocolate.org.uk/?p=411 http://www.makeminechocolate.org.uk/?p=411#comments Mon, 29 Mar 2010 18:44:26 +0000 admin http://www.makeminechocolate.org.uk/blog/?p=411 mmc easterThe Make Mine Chocolate! campaign has crossed the Solent to the Isle of Wight, the following article has been spotted in the 25.3.10 edition of the wwww.wightbay.com

Rabbits are not good Easter presents – a rabbit costs as much as a dog to keep correctly and may live well into it’s teens. Please look at the Make Mine Chocolate campaign before even thinking of buying a rabbit as an Easter gift. The MMC campaign is run by the Rabbit Welfare Association in conjunction with The Hay Experts – both well known and respected in rabbit circles!

There are currenty over 33,000 rabbits in rescue across the UK. This WILL rise after Easter when the people who have bought them as presents realise what a commitment they are and give them up for rehoming… or worse.

Buying a rabbit as an Easter present is just as unacceptable as buying a puppy for Christmas. Do an animal a favour this year and stick to chocolate bunnies!
