The Wrong Way to Go About Things

As much as I don't like classroom pets, stealing them in the name of animal welfare doesn't do any favors to those of us who care. Plus it leaves a bad impression of animal welfarists in the minds of young, impressionable children. I'm as mad at the person who did this as I am at the teacher for having a classroom pet.

Re: The Wrong Way to Go About Things

I agree. If someone saw an animal being housed in unsafe conditions such as a preschool the proper thing to do, would have been to try and get the animal out of it via showing websites/printing off papers on hazzards, etc.

Stealing the rabbit only gave PETA and other animal activists a bad name. Plus, now they school is probably just going to get another rabbit to replace it.

I wonder what happened to the rabbit? I hope it wasn't 'liberated' into the wild.
