Not overloading the website with designs and graphics definitely works to your advantage, at least from a business standpoint. Also, putting the navigation on the left side was a smart thing to do because the contents are much easier to read that way.<br /><br />-- <a href="http://www.endlessrise.com/" rel="nofollow">Darryl Tay</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11123957217278528801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730351603220185801.post-66505185477978559012012-09-16T06:52:50.239-07:002012-09-16T06:52:50.239-07:00Yay!!!

I was considering voting this year (I never have before...I'm 43), because Obama has taken away most of our freedoms. We CANNOT get accustomed to this happening...we will no longer be a free country, if we do. If you plan to vote for Ron Paul, as tens of millions of us hope you do, you MUST register Republican and vote in the Republican primary or caucus in your state. Dr. Paul needs to beat the Wallstreet princess, Mitt Romney, to have a chance to unseat the other Wallstreet princess, Barack Obama. PLEASE vote for Ron Paul...our freedoms depend on it!Rembrandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09664030548080381795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730351603220185801.post-90377179044792472852012-01-04T09:31:15.304-08:002012-01-04T09:31:15.304-08:00Hi there!!

I'm glad to hear your page is not only for the Debe Bell case. I do believe AC was in the wrong in taking all her rabbits like that, but I can see why they did, even though I don't agree with it.<br /><br />@Jan - like I said in the post and above, the AC shouldn't have taken all the rabbits without any warning or without giving her time to clean up the situation. But, still, I find it hard to believe the poop could build up that fast. I've had litters of 8-12 in my rabbitry (quite common actually) and haven't ever seen a poop pile like those pictures. So, it just makes me question :).<br /><br />@Jessica - I remember who you are talking about! I think that was handled in a better way than this situation. I'm glad you were able to help that breeder out some ;).Qadoshyahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15824192344524447095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730351603220185801.post-25326490233844921972011-09-23T06:27:11.160-07:002011-09-23T06:27:11.160-07:00The Show Rabbit Protection Society commented on an...The Show Rabbit Protection Society commented on another post on my blog in regards to this post.

I still have 4 fuzzies as pets and I still battle with keeping their cages clean. My rabbits do not sit in poop. If their cages look dirty in between tray dumping, I clean the cage. I also think the condition of her cages took much longer then a week - possibly longer then a month. With that said, I don't agree with the way A/C handled the situation. Of course I also have dealt with similar issues (in fact, the lady I helped may have kept her rabbits in WORSE conditions before I started helping her). They searched (after getting a warrent), arrested her, months of court, and though she had to place 75% of her rabbits, none were ever taken by a/c. Sometimes there is a need for a/c to become involved, though they went about it in the wrong way.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07700171581946450267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730351603220185801.post-12119897353084268582011-09-22T19:26:39.973-07:002011-09-22T19:26:39.973-07:00Really shouldn't take stuff out of context you...Really shouldn't take stuff out of context you know.

It's great that you all have so few rabbits and so much time that this never happens to you, but again, how does 4 dirty cages justify seizure of all her animals? This has happened to me in cages with litters, my rabbits typically have litters of 8-10, and it's darned near impossible not to have huge poop piles until I get them separated after weaning. Notice that one cage definitely did have a litter in it. So what say you all? Do we have to be perfect in order to be acceptable? Or can we accept that sometimes we get behind, we are human, after all, and stuff happens occasionally in 4 cages out of 184?Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17804487324553985692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730351603220185801.post-21568031609125775662011-09-22T17:47:01.075-07:002011-09-22T17:47:01.075-07:00Qadoshyah, I appreciate your thorough writing abo...Qadoshyah, I appreciate your thorough writing about the husbandry conditions of rabbitries and how it relates to the Bell Case. As a rabbit breeder in Colorado and as someone who has talked to Debe Bell about this case at length I am aware there are aspects of this case that have a lot more to do with a multitude of other factors beyond poop piles and husbandry but legal, zoning, due process, and search and seizure laws as well as the status of rabbits as livestock animals to name a few. As well, if this case generates a discussion about good husbandry practices versus poor ones, I am all for it, but what my comment is really about is your mentioning of the Rabbit Breeders United facebook page. I want to go on the record to say that although the Bell case did motivate me to start the page it is meant to be a page for all rabbit breeders worldwide and be open to all topics involving rabbit breeding, showing, production, and uses. I encourage anyone who is interested in an easy forum for rabbit breeders to communicate via fb to "LIKE" the page and join in on the posts and comments.<br />MariaDamn Yankeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847508232449693942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730351603220185801.post-52609042610448886892011-09-22T10:27:11.139-07:002011-09-22T10:27:11.139-07:00well written post.
