It's nice to hear of people like Lesley Sanford, who go out of their way to help the UVic rabbits, and of store owners like Lisa Nitkin, who have voluntarily decided to do what's socially responsible, and that is to stop selling "cheap, unfixed rabbits." Too bad Petcetera, the BC SPCA's business partner, hasn't done the same. It's been a full year since Mr Urbani, Petcetera's President and CEO, promised to end sales in all BC stores, and instead, "adopt" only sterilized rabbits supplied by the SPCA.
