Successful Rescue =)

Good deed for the day .....rescuing the possible future Peter Cottontail!!!! This little guy is safe and sound at the Adobe Wildlife Rescue Center here in AZ. He was the only survivor in his little den of Cottontail Bunnies. A min-pin decided to investigate under a bush and either scared the rest off or sent them on a permanent vacation (thats what I told Bun-bun). I entertained thoughts of bringing him home and feeding him wildbunny food on the hour...but then what? I have little dogs (MinPins are natural hunters) that would've been tortured with the little guy being in the house. Besides...after hes a little bigger....the rehab people expose them to the outside and release them back into the wild (where he belongs). So....I did the adult thing (even though my inner child wanted to keep him =)


*** Friday EDIT***

Little BunBon passed on to romp in the green fields with his brothers and sisters who preceded him the day before yesterday =( I called the Adobe wildlife center this am and was informed that he did get put into the incubator last nite, but this am was found already passed. Im not sure if it was the "tone" of the girl who told me this.....or the fact that I heard another employee coaching her on what to tell me in the background that just pissed me off. Maybe it was the cardboard box (huge and scattered with other animal poop throughout) that they placed him in after I had ensured he was warm and felt cared for during his transport. I know some may say "M, he was just a bunny"....but in Buddhism...he was not "just a bunny". He was not a lower life form than me, he was not something to discard, or eat for that matter. He was another sentient being...perhaps someone reincarnated that I once knew. Because of these beliefs, I was very saddened for him as I imagined him passing all alone sometime during the nite. I wish I could've held his little body as he went to join his family........Namaste'
