Easter Sale, Rabbits Half Off
A loooooong time ago I worked in a pet store at a mall. The company’s motto was “The customer comes first” which is a kind of weird motto to have when you’re selling animals. They obviously cared more about sales than the animals’ welfare, and would push rabbit sales around Easter even though buying a rabbit just because they’re cute around a particular holiday is a terrible, terrible idea. They also sold a number of exotic small animals that I’m pretty sure would have actually made terrible pets due to being nocturnal and high-strung.
In short, don’t shop at pet stores. Your local animal shelter has your new best friend waiting for you, for much cheaper or maybe even free.
