Easter is almost here, which means that the Easter Bunny is almost here - as well as thoughts, "Hey, maybe I should get a bunny." The ASPCA strongly recommends that people buy chocolate bunnies instead of real live ones, because they don't realize what it makes to care for a rabbit and then end up leaving a bunny at a shelter (if people really think they are capable of owning a bunny, they should read this and consider adopting a rescue bunny). Gothamist wholeheartedly endorses the idea of buying chocolate bunnies - just last night, we found ourselves eating some ridiculously delicious chocolate truffle Easter bunnies from Williams-Sonoma (we got them as a gift and can't find them online, sadly) - and we will get our bunny fix by watching the Brooklyn Bunny webcam and looking at photos tagged "bunny" on Flickr. And if you don't like chocolate, there are always bunny Peeps to go along with Peeps chicks as well as a Pat the Bunny book and plush.
The most famous bunny owner we can think of is Amy Sedaris, and she adopted a rescue bunny. And did you realize her cupcake business was to make sure her bunny wouldn't be a "trust fund rabbit"?

They really arent that hard to take care of. You just need to be a committed owner.
But of course like most Americans, once the novelty wears off, fuck the little critters.
My first adult pet was a rabbit. A temporary roommate left the bunny in my care when he went back to college and I ended up keeping the little guy. He was a great pet- litter trained, affectionate, fun to play with. He did chew off one edge of the crown molding type floor boards that ran around the entire apartment, but a little coat of paint before I moved out and no one knew anything had ever happened. Oh, and I do think he ate a bit of the kitchen floor that was pulling up near the front door. But still, great pet. When I moved to a place with a very strict no pet policy, I passed him along to a coworker who had a farm with tons of animals and several other rabbits. Last I knew, he was still going strong. So for the right person, in the right environment, rabbits can be great pets.
Chocolate rabbits are better than Were-rabbits.
Now that our Scooter is a widower, he has turned to the couch for all his emotional needs (alternately licking big wet spots & making holes.) We love the little bugger, but are looking forward to the post-pet era, when we can have nice things again.
Bunnies live surprisingly long, 10 years no problem.
Peeps are made out of pigs.
