I got that from the Humane Society of the United States, which offers tips for having a  humane Easter that respects all creation.

In the humane society’s Humane Steward Faith in Action for Animals e-letter sent today, the society’s advises people to opt for chocolate bunnies instead of real ones this holiday.

“If you love bunnies, make yours chocolate. Rabbits are the third most relinquished species at animal shelters nationwide. Intakes of rabbits at shelters go up dramatically after the Easter holiday,” the e-letter stated.

For more tips, see  “In the Spirit of Easter, Be Humane and Honor Creation.”
