Make Mine Chocolate!
Spring has arrived and Easter is fast approaching. For some, it’s the most important religious feast in the Christian year. For others, it’s a modern celebration that brings the Easter Bunny and delicious chocolate treats for young and old alike. For almost everyone, it’s a time of renewal, of growth and a time to reflect on things to come.
Since bunnies are a symbol of the Easter holiday, it’s a time when children want a real live bunny sooooo badly. It’s hard to resist their pleas and begging, but take a few moments and think again. In the months after Easter, animal rescue centers are inundated with bunnies suffering from ill-treatment or neglect. Others are just dumped in the wild to fend for themselves.
This year there is a new campaign in the U.K. called, “Make Mine Chocolate!™ “
This exciting campaign aims to raise awareness of the sad plight of the thousands of pet rabbits bought as presents at Easter and then abandoned months if not weeks later.
At Make Mine Chocolate!™ they are working hard to spread the message that ‘Chocolate is a Treat, Rabbits are a Commitment’. 2009 is the first year of their long-term campaign to end the sale of rabbits as Easter presents.
So why not join them? Buying one of their chocolate colored bunny badges will help raise money to highlight the plight of Easter bunnies everywhere, as well as looking good! Sadly the badges are not edible – but just like a real rabbit, the badge will still be with you in 10 years time! Why not buy a badge for a friend or check out some of the other ways in which you can support the campaign through purchases that raise awareness? Explore the website at, www.makeminechocolate.co.uk and find out some interesting facts and figures about the plight of pet rabbits in the U.K., and the history of the Make Mine Chocolate!â„¢ campaign both in the U.K. and in the U.S. where it all started. You can also read messages from key partners and supporters and hear why they decided to join this campaign.

A message from getsetpet:
Please think long and hard before buying a rabbit this Easter. In fact, don’t. It’s that simple. Buy chocolate instead…
