My bunny needs some positive fluffy thoughts!!! :(
Dear fellow bunny owners,
TW: Discussion of pets passing away.
I’m in all the rabbit tags a lot, perusing the photos obviously. And though it’s not every time I come across something like this it definitely happens more than I would like. I often come across people who’ve made posts about their rabbits passing away and how they’re feeling. But the disturbing part of these posts is in almost everyone they apologize. They make an excuse like “I know he/she was just a rabbit but..” And all I want to do it shake them and go but nothing, she/he was your rabbit, your pet, and you loved them. Therefore you have every right to mourn them and to not apologize for doing so. And the fact that it is sometimes completely invalidated by other pet owners absolutely enrages me. I don’t care if you’re not a bunny person, you don’t understand why people want to have bunnies or love them you have absolutely no right to invalidate our love for our pets or our sadness for when they pass away.
So this has turned out to be a bit of a rant but in the end I just want to say, if you lost your pet I am so sorry for your loss. And don’t let anyone tell you “It was just a rabbit” because fuck that, you loved them, they were your pet and you don’t deserve that bullshit especially in a time of mourning. Never apologize for loving your pet because they stop being a pet and become your family whether they are covered in fur, feathers, or scales they are our loved ones.
