The Same Artist Who Made People Cry With Her ‘Good Boy’ And ‘Black Cat’ Comics Just Released A New One With A Bunny

ADVERTISEMENT

Easter is bad for bunnies. Widespread misunderstanding of domestic rabbits has made them one of the most abandoned pets in America, and Jenny Jinya is not OK with that. The same illustrator and comic artist who made people cry with her Good Boy and Black Cat strips just created a new one to make people stop and think before bringing a bunny into their homes.

The thing is that many people think they’re short-lived, low maintenance, cage-bound animals, so they must be good “starter pets,” akin to hamsters or goldfish. But the reality is quite different. Rabbits need a lot of exercise and can’t stay in a cage for long periods of time. They also need to learn to use a litterbox — which takes patience — and since they’re prey animals, they usually don’t like to be picked up by humans; they prefer to remain in control, with their feet on the ground.

Because so many of these cute little furballs end up at animal shelters in late spring or early summer, some pet sellers even stop offering them ahead of Easter and give would-be buyers a voucher for after the holiday in an effort to stem impulse purchases.

Once again, Jenny has portrayed the tragedy behind our careless choices, showing what it could mean for the poor animal.

Seemingly fluffy and cute, as baby bunnies mature at between 3-6 months old, they can become aggressive and even destructive. Many new owners assume that these undesirable behaviors are signs of a deeper issue and get rid of the animal even though proper exercise, litterbox training, and spaying or neutering curbs the problem for most of them. Others may do a little research and balk at the time and money it takes to change bunny behavior. Jennifer McGee, co-manager of the Georgia chapter of House Rabbit Society, a shelter in the southeastern part of the state, told National Geographic she’s often met with shock and frustration from parents: “What do you mean I have to spend $200 to fix a $30 rabbit?”

It’s unclear how many rabbits are abandoned in the U.S. exactly. There isn’t an organization that collects such data. Most shelters track how many dogs and cats they find, euthanize them or put them up for adoption but they typically put rabbits in with birds, reptiles, and small mammals in the “other” category.

According to Anne Martin, executive director of the House Rabbit Society, about two-thirds of rabbits rescued in Northern California are strays left to fend for themselves. In some cities, like Las Vegas and Spokane, public parks and empty lots have become dumping grounds for unfixed and unwanted rabbits. People abandon them, most probably unaware that this is a death sentence. Domestic rabbits lack the survival instincts of their wild cousins, Martin says, and are unable to fight infection, build safe shelters, or adapt to the weather.

People really appreciated the comic and the message behind it

Yes please don't buy bunnies for Easter unless you intend to keep them for life. Anyone who has worked at a vet, animal control or a pet rescue knows May is bunny season when all the abandoned or deceased bunnies come in because someone thought it would be cute to have them as a holiday accessory or didn't realize the amount of care that goes into keeping a bunny.

Yes to this! And I don't think people realise rabbit are highly trainable. It takes time and a lot of effort and dedication (and cleaning supplies) but in the end it is so worth it. I've had my little fluffy butt for almost 6 years now and I think he only spent about 10 days in total in a cage. Doesn't eat cables, furniture or anything else, does his business only in his litter box and gives best snuggles ever ^_^

My school bought not one, but two rabbits. They hyped us all up for us and promised us that we would keep them. They arrived and all of the older kids were working their butts of because the rabbits deserved to have a good life. The teachers did nothing to help until finally, they gave them away. Overnight. Without telling us. We still have the cages in our school. It was awful

As someone who owned three free-range bunnies, let me reiterate--THEY ARE NOT SUITABLE PETS FOR YOUNG CHILDREN. Bunnies are very delicate, they can have heart attacks easily, they injure easily, and their gut health is their whole life. A bunny whose guts go haywire is a dead bunny in less than 24 hours. They CHEW. Bunny proofing is essential for your home. Vet costs are not cheap, and they need lots of proper space for excercise each day. They do NOT belong in a hutch for hours upon hours--only for sleeping. They are magical creatures with huge personalities, but they are only suitable pets for older kids or adults who are willing to care for them properly.

Please, if you are thinking of getting a pet, please make sure you know what kind of care it needs, I’ve seen people thrown tortoises in water thinking they can swim, but they cannot, it took a year of research to get me to buy my cats and dog. So please make sure you can give these pets good homes

I had two bunnies growing up, and they had the run of the house... terrorized our dogs, were regularly given yogurt treats and tasty seed balls... hutches on the indoor sun porch... They were the best little muffins. Lived to the ripe old age of 9 and 11, respectively.

Sadly, many people don't understand what house bunnies need, and many end up dying, or get badly injured. You wouldn't believe the kind of stuff people think is okay. My best friend there was a bunny without a nose because the previous owner put the bunny in a small enclosure with an aggressive ferret, both weren't fixed. Do your heccin research, peeps!

We had a dwarf lop eared bunny named Wiblet. He was adorable and absolutely loved bath time. We house trained him and he had free range. Unfortunately, he was also an accomplished escape artist. We'd be sitting on the back deck, look down at the next street and there he'd be, heading over to the golf course. The neighbor kids would find him and bring him home constantly. He got out right before we moved and we never found him. Somehow, I think he survived.

A lot of animals do not instinctively know how to survive. Rabbits just one of a long list. They must be taught. Pet store animals do not have the chance to be taught. They are meant to be a house pet. Turning them loose is a death sentence.

I know people buy pets for Christmas, but I had no idea they do this for easter. This is just madness. Most animals hate being pets. If you dont have time and money for a dog or some cats, at least be smart and get some rats. Rats are smart, fun and acutally like interacting with humans. You can train them and bond with them.

I had an albino rabbit who was an attack rabbit - she bit a hole in my thumb, in my Weejuns, and a gash in my mama's leg. She would also kick the neighbor's dog rump over teakettle for fun. She tunnelled out of her pen when she was 6, & we noticed the wild rabbits were a lot bigger for a few years after that.

This is a SERIOUS problem with snakes and lizards as well. My friend rescued one (snake) that had been set on fire by a family. They poured gasoline over it and threw a match at it. It went under there deck and set there house on fire. The worst part? They adopted it from a different abusive owner. They knew how big it would get but they just rescued it to burn it.

Hoping the artist might see this -- I'm a HUGE fan of your work, but I wondered if you ever considered doing one for possums?? (Or skunks, armadillos, raccoons, etc) -- these 'roadkill' species I think are often overlooked, and I think it might make for a greta piece. Again love love LOVE this stuff, will continue to be a patron. :)

And when he became too big, we gifted him to my grandma's neighbour in the village. She had lots of rabbits. I even went to visit him.

This a personal story, but seven of my bunnies were rescued Easter dumps. All were very vulnerable breeds (think Dwarf Hotot, Netherland Dwarf, Holland Lop, etc). I try to give all of my bunnies the best life possible, to show that humans aren't all bad. They were/all all sweethearts. Luv those floofies :')

Reminds me of the Death of the Discworl. As he says: WHAT CAN THE HARVEST HOPE FOR, IF NOT FOR THE CARE OF THE REAPER MAN?

This is a SERIOUS problem with snakes and lizards as well. My friend rescued one (snake) that had been set on fire by a family. They poured gasoline over it and threw a match at it. It went under there deck and set there house on fire. The worst part? They adopted it from a different abusive owner. They knew how big it would get but they just rescued it to burn it.

This made me angry. Mainly because the bunny's owner chose such an unsuitable place for it to be released!!

Absolutely beautiful and really really sad at the same time. It reminded me of this video from The film Watership Down. Just think of the abandoned bunnies as the ones in the video and you'll never buy a bunny for Easter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGyQmH9NZcw

Hoping the artist might see this -- I'm a HUGE fan of your work, but I wondered if you ever considered doing one for possums?? (Or skunks, armadillos, raccoons, etc) -- these 'roadkill' species I think are often overlooked, and I think it might make for a greta piece. Again love love LOVE this stuff, will continue to be a patron. :)

Thanks so much! It was only logical that the same stupid people who keep a rabbit in such a stupid tiny cage would release it into death.

Jenny Jinya is amazing... I love her portrayal of Death, and how the Grim Reaper is actually good.

"Everything that has ever died, becomes part of my realm" and voilà, here go my tears. S**t. Damn. *blows nose* So. I had a white rabbit when I was 3 years old, got him for Easter. And when he became too big, we gifted him to my grandma's neighbour in the village. She had lots of rabbits. I even went to visit him.

People can be so irresponsible. Rabbits can be wonderful pets for the right person. I have had two over the years and they were the sweetest animals.

Bunbun became Yumyum for something else dreaming of chasing and eating bunnies instead of grass.

The implication is that Death can conjure ghost Tyrannosauri at will, remember it next time.

This a personal story, but seven of my bunnies were rescued Easter dumps. All were very vulnerable breeds (think Dwarf Hotot, Netherland Dwarf, Holland Lop, etc). I try to give all of my bunnies the best life possible, to show that humans aren't all bad. They were/all all sweethearts. Luv those floofies :')

Even "good" people do not realize that, unlike them, animals suffer all year around, every year, too often at the hands of irresponsible or evil, uncaring humans.....they don't suffer only during man-made catastrophes.
