Hello there,
Thanks for joining me whether you are new or have visited here before.Constantly, I comment to my husband that the rabbits are finding me and calling out to me. It is like a radar. I am finding in my travels and in going different places that rabbits seem to find me. Okay, when I went to the Rabbit Hill Inn in Vermont, I knew they would find me and I would find them! I am not talking about those though. Those ones are intentionally there and they are reproductions of rabbits. They have never been alive-Rabbit Hill Inn has pictures and other ephemera.
Some have been live rabbits that have found me, others have been stuffed (taxidermy) such as in museums. I don't usually expect them. They just appear. I have caught many in digital images to show here. You never know. On the taxidermy ones, I am not thrilled to necessarily see them in that form, but am glad they are being used to educate. I hope this doesn't offend anyone. The ones that are in museums have been there for at least 50 years. One is actually from the first museum in the United States! I am open to hear your thoughts and what you think.

Granted, I don't look for them, but they find me. I enjoy finding my favorite little long-earred friends. For the record, I against killing or hurting rabbits. The displays in these pictures are over 50 years or more old . I would not support anything that advocates hurting animals or rabbits especially. You are welcome to make comments below.
Hope this was interesting.
Sincerely,
