At first, I thought it was good &#8211; people can play with bunnies in a game instead of buying them from pet stores and leaving them alone all day to be sad. But, then I thought about it some more, and what if playing this game, they want to get a <em>real<\/em> rabbit? It might encourage more people to get rabbits who maybe shouldn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>Still, I suppose it depends on how realistic the game is. Dad said it doesn&#8217;t look nearly as good as a real rabbit, and after all, rabbits are complex animals, I&#8217;m sure no game could ever capture our true &#8220;spirit.&#8221; So maybe this will convince people not to get rabbits if they are not ready for the commitment. That would be best, I think.<\/p>\n<p>-Gus<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.starkeith.net\/bunnyblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/02\/gus-portrait.jpg\" alt=\"Gus\u2019s Newer Portrait\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dad told me this morning that he found out that there is a game now where you take care of a rabbit &#8211; and that is the game!
