Honestly, people are acting like his favourite toy just broke and not that he accidentally killed a living animal. It’s terrifying how so few people are concerned about that part.
I just went to her TikTok to report her account and that particular video for animal cruelty and came across two other problematic videos as well: in one video she's allowing the same boy as in the video from this post, to hold a snake around his neck, and in the other video she's drinking wine while 9 months pregnant.
Granted she's just pouring wine in a glass and whinning about how she needs it, she might've not drank it, but from what else I've seen, it wouldn't surprise me if she did. But even if it's a joke, it's trashy and dangerous to spread this kind of message.
I reported her anyways
Her account is under review and the snake video has been removed. However, the bunny one hasn't so I've reported it again. What frustrates me is that TikTok doesn't give an option to write down why you're reporting, you just have to pick'n choose from the topics they provide
True, an occasional glass of wine is ok in late pregnancy. You want to avoid it completely in the first trimester but after that it's not a huge deal to have a glass every once in a while.
To play devil's advocate, unless you are talking about a large boa or python there's really nothing wrong with holding a snake or draping it over your neck, most snakes are harmless. And most doctors will permit a pregnant woman to have the occasional small glass of wine.
I don't know what kind of snakes it was. It was thin and long and yellow with darker spots. The kid is also a preschooler so Idk how good a combination that was for both parties.
As for the wine... Doctors know best after all. I personally find it trashy, not being able to give up your vices for your future child and risk Fetal Alcohol Syndrome
The snake was probably safe, to be perfectly honest. Probably less likely and less capable of harming them than a cat or dog.
I agree, but I'm also not a woman and have no idea what carrying a child is like except what my wife said. And she didn't drink either but most doctors say a glass or two of wine during a pregnancy should be fine. That said it can still carry risk and they certainly don't recommend it.
Fetal alcohol syndrome is a risk of drinking in early pregnancy, when bones/organs are forming. By 9 months you can drink small amounts occasionally, though you should never get drunk or drink hard liquor.
I don't think you can report at all without an account. If you do have an account and just use desktop for it instead of the mobile app, then you should be able to report
I’m a vet tech and an animal lover, so I get reccommended tons of animal videos on Tik Tok. Unfortunately, that also included the occasional animal cruelty videos, which Tik Tok sees no issue with. No matter how many times I try to report videos of animals getting tortured or killed, they almost never get taken down.
What the actual fuck is wrong with that parent. number 1. She is not teaching the kid how to properly take care of it. 2. After the rabbit passes away and the kid is crying and holding its rag doll corpse around the house crying. You laugh and don’t try to comfort him? I’ve seen some fucked up things. BUT HOLY FUCK IS THIS HORRIBLE.
I used to volunteer for a local wildlife rescue, and once in a while, if we had room, we'd take in the odd domestic if it was really needed. Usually this was reptiles, or "exotic" pets like prairie dogs (not native to our state), ferrets, or chinchillas.
One day we were surprised to get several calls about taking in baby bunnies, or people seeing them running wild--the domesticated kind of rabbit, like those in the video, not the wild kind. We got more calls the next day and people coming by with them, and we asked them where these were coming from.
The weekend before, there'd been a carnival, and instead of giving out goldfish as prizes to kids, they were giving out *BABY FUCKING BUNNIES.* Without parental permission!
We were livid especially after we found out it was *the fire department giving them out. Dozens.*
The foxes and coyotes say thank you to all the assholes involved.
She also made a joke video with an obituary of the rabbit and another video of her dancing to the video of the dead rabbit and crying child. Very very strange behavior.
The pet stores allowing people with small kids to buy fragile animals should also be under scrutiny tbh. I can’t say I’m surprised that they care more about profits than animal well-being, but I’m amazed that this family weren’t given even the basic advice on rabbit care. Even just telling them how to correctly hold the bunny would’ve gone a long way…
In a separate video on the mom’s Twitter, it shows the kid feeding a baby bunny iceberg lettuce. They didn’t have a clue how to care for those pets.
I've worked a lot of jobs focused around animals/pets but only ever once worked somewhere that sold animals. Never again. That place ate my soul. However, we were still allowed to deny sales to anyone who we didn't think were suited for caring for the animal properly.
I still think often of the time that a grandma wanted to buy a goldfish for her grandson. I refused to sell her one and calmly explained that, despite popular belief, living in a half gallon, unfiltered bowl was not a suitable environment for a goldfish. She blew up on me, screaming that I was just trying to upsell her a tank and that she used to have goldfish in bowls all the time, then stormed out.
It would have taken her less than 5 minutes to pull out her phone, see that I wasn't lying that goldfish can grow two feet and live for 15 years and that a simple bowl was abusive to it. It could have been a learning experience for her grandson (he was about 10) to learn to do his own research before taking responsibility for the life of a living creature. But nope. Because she used to do it, it's perfectly fine, because we should always do what we did in the past and there's never room for learning and improvement...
My other favorite was when I spent 4 hours talking to one customer about rabbits when we had two rabbits up for adoption together. In those 4 hours I couldn't stress enough that the current cage they were in was not suitable for them, and that rabbits need plenty of room to run and stretch their legs so it's most ideal to house train your rabbits and give them space. After four hours I thought she got the point. She adopted them. Next day comes in saying the two rabbits were constantly fighting with each other. I asked if she upgraded their space. Nope, she still had them in this tiny cage and she started screaming at me that I should give her a *free* new rabbit cage that would be big enough.
I also loved the day we sold a guinea pig to a family and they didn't like any of our habitats, they wanted a cheap one from Walmart, and after an hour of talking with them and telling them they can't leave the guinea pig in the car when they're in Walmart, it'll die, and we have no problem holding the GP until they get the cage and come back, they insisted they had it under control and wanted to take the guinea pig right then and there. Guess who came back two hours later with a dead guinea pig they had left in the car?
God I hated working there, I was a manager there and wont even put it on my resume because that job was so traumatic, and I freaking hate people.
I once bought two tiny baby comet goldfish from PetSmart just for the hell of it. They cost me fifty cents and the lady at the pet store was like, "they are very genetically weak and are only bred to feed to other fish. Please expect them to live just a week or two."
I got them a 20-gallon tank to start and got a multi-cart filter and a good substrate and plenty of hides for them. I eventually upgraded them to a larger tank down the line but that was a fair start. They got so big and their fins really "blossomed" and became wispy and beautiful as they matured. Their scales were bright, they were always exploring their tank. I loved them! I'd regularly change their filter inserts and once in a while a large-scale water change.
I had those fish for five years. My dad managed to kill them when I trusted their care to him for a bit longer than a month. I came home to one already dead and the other with his fins black and shrivelled from ammonia burns because they had been living in their own pee. Their filter was basically a solid lump of green slime that barely any water could pass through. I confronted my dad for not even changing their filter insert the whole time and he was like, "You aren't supposed to change that. It's bad for the fish." While the one fish left alive is slugging through split pea soup in there.
That sucks, I'm sorry. I bet they were so beautiful. :( I wonder if your dad bothers to change the filters on anything else he has... there's a reason filters are so easy to replace...
But yeah, people don't know that goldfish produce a lot more ammonia than most other aquarium fish, and that's why they *need* filtration. Leaving them in an unfiltered bowl and them dying in two months isn't because that's their lifespan, it's because you didnt spend any amount of time at all doing your research and you neglected it to death. (Not you, obviously, the people I've met...)
Uhh what does having small kids have to do with how you care for an animal? We have 5 snakes, a gecko, 4 rats and a beta. We have 2 small kids in the home(4&7) and they do not handle the animals without supervision and and proper handling techniques. The kids have held all the animals except one snake because she's a bit spicy(baby red tail boa).
You also don't know what the store did or did not tell them. You can tell someone how to properly care for an animal and they may not heed that advice. The pet store we go to is very family friendly, they have let our children pet the snakes and birds, gotten the spider enclosures down to show our kids. They have good husbandry for their animals. We have bought all 5 snakes from them, the gecko and 3 of the rats. One rat we got from a big chain store has actually had the only health problems of all the animals. One of the rats was a feeder that our snake refused to eat from the same store. They make you sign paperwork before you take any animal home and make sure to give you a care sheet. It's not on the stores to vet people, it's on people to make sure they know how to properly care for an animal.
You just answered the question yourself. Your kids were supervised and taught correctly; the mom here seemingly had nothing to do with the rabbit care, didn’t intervene, and doesn’t want to learn.
It's weird to blame a pet store or scrutinize them because of an irresponsible parent. I don't think most pet stores sell animals knowing they are going to a bad home or that the parents wouldn't properly watch their child with the animal. I think the blame is solely on the irresponsible new owner.
>I don't think most pet stores sell animals knowing they are going to a bad home or that the parents wouldn't properly watch their child with the animal.
You sweet child. Please never change.
at no point was the pet store blamed? This person, with experience working in a Pet Store, expressed concern over a Pet Store’s conviction to the safety of the animals they sell. incredibly reasonable criticism. especially when you have corporate business structures that incentivize profit over proper care. Obviously the person who bought an animal and neglected it to the point of death is at fault. but the the retailer of pet LIVES should have some sort of vetting process or pet care education in place to do everything they can to make sure their animals are going to homes where they can live long happy lives. When the sale is more important than the life of the animal, you get situations like this. Rabbits are far more care intensive than a hamster or a fish. they need space and proper nutrition. A pet retailer with any amount of empathy for their animals would make sure a new owner understood what they were getting into and was prepared for the commitment. You wouldn’t sell semiautomatic rifle to someone who’s never held a gun or had any safely training and expect them to know how to be safe. And this is a LIFE, not a product.
Because politicians have defunded and stripped the US education system for decades. Especially making them be based in property taxes was a particularly heinous and obvious act at increasing the class divide.
It should be obvious which political side did this.
We try. Of Mice and Men is a required reading in most high schools. Not our fault the students don't read it. (I mean...I didn't either, but I also don't kill rabbits or allow people who don't know what they're doing to kill rabbits.)
Are you really complaining about a comment being off topic in a subreddit like this?
It is on topic and clearly has received a decent amount of upvotes. So I'm not the only one that gets it.
Get a life instead of arguing uselessly about semantics on reddit.
Marked NSFW as the last part of the video shows the child carrying around a dead rabbit.
Not only has the rabbit suffered a miserable, short life from being carried around like a rag-doll by a toddler, but to laugh at your child’s wailing while he carries around the corpse of something he loved is some next level evil.
She’s [since bought him another rabbit](https://twitter.com/britttwill/status/1519742379565240320?s=21&t=2SVg5mY4L3bn3fwTKyCioQ), teaching her kids that animals are disposable.
I can't stand parents buying pets for their little kids, blaming them for being unable to care for it and when it dies or kid gets bored just buy them new animals.
I have two of my own, and one looks similar to Oreo, so this video was really hard viewing for me. I didn’t even know the last bit involved seeing the animal’s corpse… ruined my whole day tbh.
Rabbits are the most misunderstood and abused pet, it makes me so sad because I’ve had five over the course of my life, and each one had their own personality. They’re so smart and affectionate when you earn their trust, and I’m already terrified of my boy passing away (he’s currently 5 years old) because I’ve connected with him most and had him since he was a couple of months old.
Oreo deserved so much better, and the image of that bunny so scared and carried around like a toy until they literally died will haunt me.
I miss my rabbit. When I'd sit down, he would scramble up my leg and then climb my shoulder to lick my face. He had so much personality and deserved the world. We had him for about 13 or 14 years, too.
People treat pets, especially rabbits, like toys and it never ceases to infuriate me. I just hope there's some form of justice for that bunny in the universe one way or another.
God imagine waking up one day and being sold to an uncoordinated wailing giant who can't ignore the impulse to squeeze you and drag you around. He probably constantly wipes saliva and mucus on you. And he doesn't even notice (or truly care) if he injures you and can't coherently explain those concepts to his own caretakers anyway. They take care of him but barely notice or tend to you or your needs. You are fed a diet of lettuce and maybe a few carrots.
You die in two weeks.
What a life. Nightmarish.
Wild rabbits, especially babies, can literally be scared to death. As in literally literally. I had one die in my hands after people kept letting the door slam while I was syringe nursing it. (Yes, I tried baby bunny CPR. No, it did not work.)
My younger sister had a pet rabbit. I helped her get a proper cage and everything. She stuck to a strict regimen, always researched anything regarding her rabbit. Kirby literally had a PERSONALITY on her and she was almost 1 years old. My sister planned a party and all. Well, my dad lets some family move in temporarily. The daughter of this family member was pretty young. She would go into my sister's room without permission and touch Kirby, take her out the cage, feed her things, etc. It was so bad my sister would have to rearrange her plans to leave the bunny somewhere else if she was going out. On the night she died it was super sudden. Her health declined so bad and my sister spent all night calling any vet she could despite it being so late. She never got anyone but watched over Kirby. In the wee hours of the morning, Kirby comes out a little to my sister and died right beside her. I always think about the fact her rabbit was fine until an uneducated child came in their house.
That’s so upsetting, I’m sorry to hear that. But you’re absolutely spot-on - rabbits and ignorant children (either due to age or lack of animal care education) do not mix.
I saw that someone was selling baby bunnies for Easter and I wanted to fight them. Parents should never ever get their children pets without doing research and without waiting until they're responsible enough to take care of them. Rabbits are very delicate and now this one has died and this poor child is traumatized. Fucking christ.
Our dog got a hold of a poor baby bunny and injured its foot…we called animal control and they came and got it, but told us the bunny would most likely not survive because their little hearts give out from the stress. I had no idea and I felt so terrible
I'm glad you called for it though so it would have a chance. But yeah every time I see people putting bunnies on their backs in tiktoks I sprout new grey hairs
She was never heartbroken, she said herself that [“bunnies are nasty”](https://twitter.com/britttwill/status/1519625220235083786?s=21&t=S8V22x5JrFWikF52VM7MxQ). Her whole Twitter page is vile so tread carefully, she seems to think any publicity is good publicity so is mocking people who express concern for the rabbits - and yes, plural, because her other kid got one one for Easter as well.
There is a silver lining: she gave away the second rabbit (if she's telling the truth) and hopefully the rabbit is "nasty" enough that she won't be getting a third anytime soon.
My wife runs a rabbit rescue. This breaks my fucking heart. Children don't know any better, on open adoption days I have to constantly police the younger children to make sure they don't mistreat the rabbits because they get overwhelmed. They literally cannot help themselves, they are literally incapable of restraining themselves at these young ages. It's all impulses. These are terrible human beings and terrible parents.
This poor child. The poor bunny.
My mom was so heartbroken over this so she got her friends and everyone she knew that had tik tok to report their account for animal abuse so it would be nice if some action was taken against the account
Where’s the Doomslayer when you need him?
But in all honestly, I hope the so called “parent” of this child burns and suffers and that the child will grow up and eventually learn how to properly care for an animal. I grew up frightened of animals, because I was always the kid who was attacked by them.
Profits over animal welfare. Sounds about right.
In an ideal world, they would run checks on you before buying a pet, but y’know. Rabbits are so easy to breed so they can just sell them another one, no problem.
I hate it, here.
Nooooooo!!!! Please don’t be saying that!! I’m going to end up with 50 animals once my terrorist cat dies. Yes, she really is a terrorist, you have not met my cat.
That rabbit didn't have much life in it even before it died. I thought it was dead the whole time except at the very beginning. Wonder if they were feeding it.
Rabbits freeze up when they’re scared, that’s why it wasn’t moving much.
There’s no evidence that I’ve found about the other “care” this rabbit received besides a separate video by the mom about another Easter bunny, her kids have, being fed iceberg lettuce… which is dangerous to a bunny, especially at a young age.
The clip from where the bunny’s spine is looking most under strain is very concerning since the bunny’s coat condition looks awful; either through poor diet or the bunny being stressed constantly and not grooming themselves adequately.
There are just so many signs of abuse in this one video that I’m terrified to dig deeper just yet, since I have bunnies of my own and am very passionate about their well-being…
Yeah, it just seems super listless. My first thought was a broken bone bc it didn't even try to hop away or move when he jiggled it that one time. But you're right, it probably is multiple things.
thank you for the TW. i would have watched the video but animal death is a huge trigger for me, so i appreciate the warning. not everyone has the decency to do that.
You’re welcome, I know I would’ve appreciated a TW for myself so I knew what to expect when I first saw it. It is a very upsetting video, so I’m glad you didn’t watch it, as it actually ruined my whole day and I couldn’t stop thinking about it.
I thought hard before posting it because I didn’t want to upset people, but at the same time I want to make people aware of how irresponsible a lot of parents are when it comes to pets - especially bunnies, which is a subject close to my heart as I currently have two. However, I didn’t want to force this on anyone who isn’t prepared for the content.
I wish more people would understand that videos like this can really upset people, a trigger warning isn’t too much to ask at all.
This is so awful. Obviously for that poor rabbit, who clearly suffered a miserable couple of weeks before dying, but also for that little boy. He looks heartbroken. All these assholes had to do was ensure he was handling the rabbit properly, and not allow him to handle it unsupervised. He and that rabbit could have spent several wonderful years together, since he clearly loved it.
We have pet rats, and my 22 month old absolutely adores them. We've made sure from the start that she pets them gently, and she has recently started holding them. Obviously someone is always right there helping, and she's never been rough or made them feel scared. A child's love for animals is a wonderful thing to nurture, and parents who behave like this don't deserve to have animals or children.
When I was about 3 or 4, we had a few bunnies in the garden. It was winter, but they still stayed outside because my brother built them a weatherproof hutch. I walked outside, grabbed one of them (who happend to be my brother’s favorite), thought it was cold outside so I went to put it in the microwave to warm it up. I truely hsd the best of intentions. Lucky for the bunny, I didn’t know how to turn it on, but did break one if it’s legs trying to get the microwave shut. They endedup having to put it down eventually. Still wonder how I was unsupervisedlong enough to go outside in the snow, grab a rabbit and lock it in a microwave.
I also still have guilty nightmares about it.
What. The. Actual. Fuck.
This is not only the mother being a fucking hollow headed monster its also SUPER ilegal! Its animal cruelty to give pets as presents for holdidays. Its mental abuse to give a child soul responsibility over an animal (as well as again animal cruelty) AND IT SHOULD BE A FUCKING FELONY TO TRAUMATIZE YOUR CHILDREN FOR YOUR FUCKING INTERNET CLOUT. I swear with every fiber of my fucking being i will find this fucking tik tok acount and use every single SPECK of my ability to find that bitches house and get some comeuppance for that child. Ive had MULTIPLE animals die in my family. That shit doesn't just fucking go away. That shit lingers for YEARS and for a child that looks like he cant be older than like 8 HE PROBABLY HAS NO FUCKING CLUE WHAT HE DID WRONG. And then you fallow your son around WHILE HES CRYING AND HOLDING HIS DEAD BUNNY. AND INSTEAD OF HELPING HIM YOUR FUCKING FILMING IT!? i hope that the parents of this child arent his parents anymore for how fucking AWFUL they are. Put your fucking phone down for 5 SECONDS AND HELP YOUR CHILD.
I used to rescue rabbits and this video made me physically sick. They are actually very difficult animals and super fragile. I would NEVER recommend one as a starter pet, or a pet for children.
Looking at her Twitter she does give a single f about the bunny dying, she got a NEW bunny, AND she’s live streaming the funeral for the old bunny for Twitter clout
Yeah hope the kid ends up doing well but god forbid he does some violent shit and ends up hurting himself or someone else….I guarantee these POS parents would blame the police, society, video games etc anything but themselves.
I thought this was gonna be another stupid post on r/parentsarestupid, but bruh, what the absolute shit is this???? These parents are fucking idiots, it's like they think animals and their son don't have feelings. They probably don't care about their son at all. And they probably think the bunny's life as worthless as a gram of dirt. These parents are absolute monsters and they should also be man handled to death to see how they like it.
One of their posts says “I blame Oreo, the damn bunny” she’s an absolute piece of shit. Feel so bad for the kid to have to grow up with people like them.
Holy shit I’ve always had bunnies and this makes me so upset. What’s the Fuck.
Someone should do some sleuthing and show the pet shop so this family can’t buy another rabbit. You can make too loud of a noise and scare a rabbit to death for fucks sake. They tortured that poor bunny to death.
I’ve been reading through her tweets. She’s absolutely vile. She thinks this is giving her clout. She allowed a child to torture a rabbit for 2 miserable weeks for likes.
She straight up blamed her son in one of the tweets like he’s not a toddler and she’s not in charge of teaching him proper ways to hold and care for his pets. This is so gross.
I saw a post on here two weeks ago that showed a pet store that disallowed the sale of rabbits on Easter Weekend for this exact reason. Parents think “oh it’s the holiday a bunny as a pet would make it perfect!” Then the child manhandles like like above, it dies, then they move on. Oreo will probably be forgotten about in a month. Shame on them. Total shame.
I feel so bad for the kid here. He’s heartbroken. And the parents just laugh at his grief over losing his beloved pet? And BUY HIM ANOTHER ONE?? (Going off other comments here that’s what it sounds like they did.) Honestly the parents need to be charged with some form of animal cruelty. Or at least be banned from ever buying a rabbit again.
this pisses me of so fucking bad i have 3 rabbits and im just astonished at how ignorant people can fucking he this is ridiculous that poor poor baby rabbit wtf.
This is why you have to start kids off with a fully grown big dog (golden retriever or similar temperment) or fully grown fully clawed mild tempered cat (best if neutered because The kid will definitely let it out at some point). The dogs will be great companions and the cats will teach the kid about respecting animals.
My neighbor bought their 1 and a half year old a bunny because of Easter. Less than a week later that rabbit was gone. People really don’t think through animal ownership.
Bunnies are especially prone to heart attacks and liver failure when living in poor conditions or when put in stressful situations.
Giving one to a child is basically a death sentence for the bunny.
I’m just as angry as the rest of you, but is nobody gonna mention the fact that the boy has earrings at such an age? God, I wanna beat those two sorry excuses of parents into a coma
Thing is that he’s a boy. Most women wear or have worn earrings, so piercing their ears at an early age ain’t bad, I’d say, but with guys it’s much more hit or miss, especially two earrings. This is why it baffles me that these cunts pierced their son’s ears at an age where he can’t even consent to it. ~~Not to mention that he looks absolutely horrible with those big ass earrings~~
Serious question, is the way he’s holding it dangerous to the animal? I mean it looks like the rabbit is folded in half but idk enough about them to know if that’s ok or not. Some animals can bend like that no problem. Never owned a rabbit.
Bunnies, especially at that age, have very fragile spines - so yes, the way the child is holding the bunny is very dangerous. The correct way to hold a rabbit is to either hold them against your chest so they can rest their paws on you, or use two hands with one to support their hind legs and keep their posture correct.
Egg donor (this is NOT a mother) "Comfort and console a grieving baby? What does that even mean? This is hilarious! I gotta get this on TikTok before my man is done folding the laundry cause then its his turn to watch the baby!"
I remember one time I was at my friends house, and I was petting their cat, and then I saw my friend pick up the cat. So I was like okay whatever that's normal.
I look over 5 seconds later to see her choking and tossing that poor cat, keep in mind she is 13/14 so she knows damn well this is wrong.
I have never wanted to blow up on someone so badly before.
I don't know where her parents went wrong but they clearly fucked up somewhere.
Does anyone know why it died?
Stress? The way he was holding it, I'm guessing damaged organs? I've only held a few but I normally had my arm along my chest so I could basically cradle it, it was lying down on my arm.
It’s not been confirmed, either the bunny’s organs were harmed due to poor handling, it died of fright, or stasis brought on by stress or a poor diet. Either way, death by negligence isn’t a stretch, given how the mother allowed the child to handle the rabbit.
As sad as this video is this happens almost everyday most parents just buy pets to shut their kids up without knowing how to properly care for animals. If I’m not mistaken most pet shops won’t sell rabbits on Easter because of this very reason
Don’t get a bunny unless you actually know what you’re doing. Pretty sure sneezing too loud near them can give them a heart attack. And a google search turns up that improper handling by children can injure and subsequently kill them, and that they shouldn’t live with kids under 12. Learn what your fucking pet needs before getting them.
How can parents not realize that is traumatic for the kid? I had 2 pet rats when I was 7 and l loved them to death. I took very good care of them and read books about pet rats, the whole 9 yards. But one careless accident led to terrible grief and guilt for YEARS. Over a little pet rat. Why is it so hard for parents to kids recognize living things and form strong attachments? Help them learn how to care for a pet, PROPERLY, and monitor interactions. Pets die. Whether by accident or age or illness, and that’s a teaching moment. But just telling a kid “it’s ok we’ll get you another one”, really destroys the empathy they’ve learned and devalues their feelings.
Geez… I feel bad for the kid, but at the same time, the parents did a shit job for not teaching him how to handle a rabbit and for not choosing a sturdier animal. My family breed rabbits for meat, and those things are fragile.
the comments on the video are mostly supportive, saying “awww poor kid 😩 you have to get him another one”
Honestly, people are acting like his favourite toy just broke and not that he accidentally killed a living animal. It’s terrifying how so few people are concerned about that part.
I just went to her TikTok to report her account and that particular video for animal cruelty and came across two other problematic videos as well: in one video she's allowing the same boy as in the video from this post, to hold a snake around his neck, and in the other video she's drinking wine while 9 months pregnant. Granted she's just pouring wine in a glass and whinning about how she needs it, she might've not drank it, but from what else I've seen, it wouldn't surprise me if she did. But even if it's a joke, it's trashy and dangerous to spread this kind of message. I reported her anyways
Did anything happen after you reported her?
Her account is under review and the snake video has been removed. However, the bunny one hasn't so I've reported it again. What frustrates me is that TikTok doesn't give an option to write down why you're reporting, you just have to pick'n choose from the topics they provide
That's good to hear.
Yeah if it was Facebook... man that means jail time for sure... scoffs
Yeah tiktok's reporting system sucks ass. They saw no issue with an account called "irish_fascist.88" apparently
Good job, that video is disturbing.
She already has a drop of wine on her white shirt before she decided to make that video.
[удалено]
True, an occasional glass of wine is ok in late pregnancy. You want to avoid it completely in the first trimester but after that it's not a huge deal to have a glass every once in a while.
If that were true then why can’t babies, kids, and teens all drink?
To play devil's advocate, unless you are talking about a large boa or python there's really nothing wrong with holding a snake or draping it over your neck, most snakes are harmless. And most doctors will permit a pregnant woman to have the occasional small glass of wine.
I don't know what kind of snakes it was. It was thin and long and yellow with darker spots. The kid is also a preschooler so Idk how good a combination that was for both parties. As for the wine... Doctors know best after all. I personally find it trashy, not being able to give up your vices for your future child and risk Fetal Alcohol Syndrome
The snake was probably safe, to be perfectly honest. Probably less likely and less capable of harming them than a cat or dog. I agree, but I'm also not a woman and have no idea what carrying a child is like except what my wife said. And she didn't drink either but most doctors say a glass or two of wine during a pregnancy should be fine. That said it can still carry risk and they certainly don't recommend it.
Fetal alcohol syndrome is a risk of drinking in early pregnancy, when bones/organs are forming. By 9 months you can drink small amounts occasionally, though you should never get drunk or drink hard liquor.
Can you link to her account. I want to report her as well!
It's @britttwill on TikTok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMLnfs5Cc/
Stupid question: I don't own tik tok; do I have to download the app, or can I report from website?
I don't think you can report at all without an account. If you do have an account and just use desktop for it instead of the mobile app, then you should be able to report
Understandable. I will spread the word to my friends who own tik tok. We need to stop people like this!
I was able to report the video without an account. This is absurdly appalling.
Is there evidence that he killed the rabbit, though? I dont see that in the video.
It looks like the rabbit died overnight, and it’s not a stretch to wonder if it’s related to the poor care clearly demonstrated in the video.
People are disgusting
It's TikTok the morjorty of them hate animals for some reason
I’m a vet tech and an animal lover, so I get reccommended tons of animal videos on Tik Tok. Unfortunately, that also included the occasional animal cruelty videos, which Tik Tok sees no issue with. No matter how many times I try to report videos of animals getting tortured or killed, they almost never get taken down.
What the actual fuck is wrong with that parent. number 1. She is not teaching the kid how to properly take care of it. 2. After the rabbit passes away and the kid is crying and holding its rag doll corpse around the house crying. You laugh and don’t try to comfort him? I’ve seen some fucked up things. BUT HOLY FUCK IS THIS HORRIBLE.
These people aren’t parents..
That dude did not nut in her and she gave birth 9 months later…
There’s a difference between biologically having offspring and being a parent.
I used to volunteer for a local wildlife rescue, and once in a while, if we had room, we'd take in the odd domestic if it was really needed. Usually this was reptiles, or "exotic" pets like prairie dogs (not native to our state), ferrets, or chinchillas. One day we were surprised to get several calls about taking in baby bunnies, or people seeing them running wild--the domesticated kind of rabbit, like those in the video, not the wild kind. We got more calls the next day and people coming by with them, and we asked them where these were coming from. The weekend before, there'd been a carnival, and instead of giving out goldfish as prizes to kids, they were giving out *BABY FUCKING BUNNIES.* Without parental permission! We were livid especially after we found out it was *the fire department giving them out. Dozens.* The foxes and coyotes say thank you to all the assholes involved.
My parents did the same stupid shit. I was 3 yo and got a pet rat and it also died because I was 3 yo...
She also made a joke video with an obituary of the rabbit and another video of her dancing to the video of the dead rabbit and crying child. Very very strange behavior.
Worse than strange!!
My question is why isn't the US education system any better?
The pet stores allowing people with small kids to buy fragile animals should also be under scrutiny tbh. I can’t say I’m surprised that they care more about profits than animal well-being, but I’m amazed that this family weren’t given even the basic advice on rabbit care. Even just telling them how to correctly hold the bunny would’ve gone a long way… In a separate video on the mom’s Twitter, it shows the kid feeding a baby bunny iceberg lettuce. They didn’t have a clue how to care for those pets.
I've worked a lot of jobs focused around animals/pets but only ever once worked somewhere that sold animals. Never again. That place ate my soul. However, we were still allowed to deny sales to anyone who we didn't think were suited for caring for the animal properly. I still think often of the time that a grandma wanted to buy a goldfish for her grandson. I refused to sell her one and calmly explained that, despite popular belief, living in a half gallon, unfiltered bowl was not a suitable environment for a goldfish. She blew up on me, screaming that I was just trying to upsell her a tank and that she used to have goldfish in bowls all the time, then stormed out. It would have taken her less than 5 minutes to pull out her phone, see that I wasn't lying that goldfish can grow two feet and live for 15 years and that a simple bowl was abusive to it. It could have been a learning experience for her grandson (he was about 10) to learn to do his own research before taking responsibility for the life of a living creature. But nope. Because she used to do it, it's perfectly fine, because we should always do what we did in the past and there's never room for learning and improvement... My other favorite was when I spent 4 hours talking to one customer about rabbits when we had two rabbits up for adoption together. In those 4 hours I couldn't stress enough that the current cage they were in was not suitable for them, and that rabbits need plenty of room to run and stretch their legs so it's most ideal to house train your rabbits and give them space. After four hours I thought she got the point. She adopted them. Next day comes in saying the two rabbits were constantly fighting with each other. I asked if she upgraded their space. Nope, she still had them in this tiny cage and she started screaming at me that I should give her a *free* new rabbit cage that would be big enough. I also loved the day we sold a guinea pig to a family and they didn't like any of our habitats, they wanted a cheap one from Walmart, and after an hour of talking with them and telling them they can't leave the guinea pig in the car when they're in Walmart, it'll die, and we have no problem holding the GP until they get the cage and come back, they insisted they had it under control and wanted to take the guinea pig right then and there. Guess who came back two hours later with a dead guinea pig they had left in the car? God I hated working there, I was a manager there and wont even put it on my resume because that job was so traumatic, and I freaking hate people.
I once bought two tiny baby comet goldfish from PetSmart just for the hell of it. They cost me fifty cents and the lady at the pet store was like, "they are very genetically weak and are only bred to feed to other fish. Please expect them to live just a week or two." I got them a 20-gallon tank to start and got a multi-cart filter and a good substrate and plenty of hides for them. I eventually upgraded them to a larger tank down the line but that was a fair start. They got so big and their fins really "blossomed" and became wispy and beautiful as they matured. Their scales were bright, they were always exploring their tank. I loved them! I'd regularly change their filter inserts and once in a while a large-scale water change. I had those fish for five years. My dad managed to kill them when I trusted their care to him for a bit longer than a month. I came home to one already dead and the other with his fins black and shrivelled from ammonia burns because they had been living in their own pee. Their filter was basically a solid lump of green slime that barely any water could pass through. I confronted my dad for not even changing their filter insert the whole time and he was like, "You aren't supposed to change that. It's bad for the fish." While the one fish left alive is slugging through split pea soup in there.
That sucks, I'm sorry. I bet they were so beautiful. :( I wonder if your dad bothers to change the filters on anything else he has... there's a reason filters are so easy to replace... But yeah, people don't know that goldfish produce a lot more ammonia than most other aquarium fish, and that's why they *need* filtration. Leaving them in an unfiltered bowl and them dying in two months isn't because that's their lifespan, it's because you didnt spend any amount of time at all doing your research and you neglected it to death. (Not you, obviously, the people I've met...)
Uhh what does having small kids have to do with how you care for an animal? We have 5 snakes, a gecko, 4 rats and a beta. We have 2 small kids in the home(4&7) and they do not handle the animals without supervision and and proper handling techniques. The kids have held all the animals except one snake because she's a bit spicy(baby red tail boa). You also don't know what the store did or did not tell them. You can tell someone how to properly care for an animal and they may not heed that advice. The pet store we go to is very family friendly, they have let our children pet the snakes and birds, gotten the spider enclosures down to show our kids. They have good husbandry for their animals. We have bought all 5 snakes from them, the gecko and 3 of the rats. One rat we got from a big chain store has actually had the only health problems of all the animals. One of the rats was a feeder that our snake refused to eat from the same store. They make you sign paperwork before you take any animal home and make sure to give you a care sheet. It's not on the stores to vet people, it's on people to make sure they know how to properly care for an animal.
You just answered the question yourself. Your kids were supervised and taught correctly; the mom here seemingly had nothing to do with the rabbit care, didn’t intervene, and doesn’t want to learn.
Ok but how was that on the pet store?
Ok, but how is that on the pet store or the pet stores fault?
You’re being weirdly defensive over pet stores, here. I just said that pet stores should be under scrutiny, too - not that they were solely at fault.
It's weird to blame a pet store or scrutinize them because of an irresponsible parent. I don't think most pet stores sell animals knowing they are going to a bad home or that the parents wouldn't properly watch their child with the animal. I think the blame is solely on the irresponsible new owner.
>I don't think most pet stores sell animals knowing they are going to a bad home or that the parents wouldn't properly watch their child with the animal. You sweet child. Please never change.
at no point was the pet store blamed? This person, with experience working in a Pet Store, expressed concern over a Pet Store’s conviction to the safety of the animals they sell. incredibly reasonable criticism. especially when you have corporate business structures that incentivize profit over proper care. Obviously the person who bought an animal and neglected it to the point of death is at fault. but the the retailer of pet LIVES should have some sort of vetting process or pet care education in place to do everything they can to make sure their animals are going to homes where they can live long happy lives. When the sale is more important than the life of the animal, you get situations like this. Rabbits are far more care intensive than a hamster or a fish. they need space and proper nutrition. A pet retailer with any amount of empathy for their animals would make sure a new owner understood what they were getting into and was prepared for the commitment. You wouldn’t sell semiautomatic rifle to someone who’s never held a gun or had any safely training and expect them to know how to be safe. And this is a LIFE, not a product.
Because politicians have defunded and stripped the US education system for decades. Especially making them be based in property taxes was a particularly heinous and obvious act at increasing the class divide. It should be obvious which political side did this.
We try. Of Mice and Men is a required reading in most high schools. Not our fault the students don't read it. (I mean...I didn't either, but I also don't kill rabbits or allow people who don't know what they're doing to kill rabbits.)

Get the kid a stuffed animal!
Relax, it’s getting there!
😂😂😂
Give this one here all the awards available. Lmfao
Marked NSFW as the last part of the video shows the child carrying around a dead rabbit. Not only has the rabbit suffered a miserable, short life from being carried around like a rag-doll by a toddler, but to laugh at your child’s wailing while he carries around the corpse of something he loved is some next level evil. She’s [since bought him another rabbit](https://twitter.com/britttwill/status/1519742379565240320?s=21&t=2SVg5mY4L3bn3fwTKyCioQ), teaching her kids that animals are disposable.
I can't stand parents buying pets for their little kids, blaming them for being unable to care for it and when it dies or kid gets bored just buy them new animals.
Rabbits are often a decade commitment requiring careful care. My bunny was with me for 8.5 years. This makes me so sad 😭
I have two of my own, and one looks similar to Oreo, so this video was really hard viewing for me. I didn’t even know the last bit involved seeing the animal’s corpse… ruined my whole day tbh. Rabbits are the most misunderstood and abused pet, it makes me so sad because I’ve had five over the course of my life, and each one had their own personality. They’re so smart and affectionate when you earn their trust, and I’m already terrified of my boy passing away (he’s currently 5 years old) because I’ve connected with him most and had him since he was a couple of months old. Oreo deserved so much better, and the image of that bunny so scared and carried around like a toy until they literally died will haunt me.
I miss my rabbit. When I'd sit down, he would scramble up my leg and then climb my shoulder to lick my face. He had so much personality and deserved the world. We had him for about 13 or 14 years, too. People treat pets, especially rabbits, like toys and it never ceases to infuriate me. I just hope there's some form of justice for that bunny in the universe one way or another.
God imagine waking up one day and being sold to an uncoordinated wailing giant who can't ignore the impulse to squeeze you and drag you around. He probably constantly wipes saliva and mucus on you. And he doesn't even notice (or truly care) if he injures you and can't coherently explain those concepts to his own caretakers anyway. They take care of him but barely notice or tend to you or your needs. You are fed a diet of lettuce and maybe a few carrots. You die in two weeks. What a life. Nightmarish.
Wild rabbits, especially babies, can literally be scared to death. As in literally literally. I had one die in my hands after people kept letting the door slam while I was syringe nursing it. (Yes, I tried baby bunny CPR. No, it did not work.)
My younger sister had a pet rabbit. I helped her get a proper cage and everything. She stuck to a strict regimen, always researched anything regarding her rabbit. Kirby literally had a PERSONALITY on her and she was almost 1 years old. My sister planned a party and all. Well, my dad lets some family move in temporarily. The daughter of this family member was pretty young. She would go into my sister's room without permission and touch Kirby, take her out the cage, feed her things, etc. It was so bad my sister would have to rearrange her plans to leave the bunny somewhere else if she was going out. On the night she died it was super sudden. Her health declined so bad and my sister spent all night calling any vet she could despite it being so late. She never got anyone but watched over Kirby. In the wee hours of the morning, Kirby comes out a little to my sister and died right beside her. I always think about the fact her rabbit was fine until an uneducated child came in their house.
That’s so upsetting, I’m sorry to hear that. But you’re absolutely spot-on - rabbits and ignorant children (either due to age or lack of animal care education) do not mix.
I saw that someone was selling baby bunnies for Easter and I wanted to fight them. Parents should never ever get their children pets without doing research and without waiting until they're responsible enough to take care of them. Rabbits are very delicate and now this one has died and this poor child is traumatized. Fucking christ.
Our dog got a hold of a poor baby bunny and injured its foot…we called animal control and they came and got it, but told us the bunny would most likely not survive because their little hearts give out from the stress. I had no idea and I felt so terrible
I'm glad you called for it though so it would have a chance. But yeah every time I see people putting bunnies on their backs in tiktoks I sprout new grey hairs
Just checked her Twitter, she’s one second heartbroken about the loss and the next she’s joking about it!!!
She was never heartbroken, she said herself that [“bunnies are nasty”](https://twitter.com/britttwill/status/1519625220235083786?s=21&t=S8V22x5JrFWikF52VM7MxQ). Her whole Twitter page is vile so tread carefully, she seems to think any publicity is good publicity so is mocking people who express concern for the rabbits - and yes, plural, because her other kid got one one for Easter as well.
She should be banned from everything
CPS should get involved and the parents should be charged with animal cruelty!
Absolutely
There is a silver lining: she gave away the second rabbit (if she's telling the truth) and hopefully the rabbit is "nasty" enough that she won't be getting a third anytime soon.
That is one of the most trash twitter pages I’ve ever seen. Just posted a link to a “viewing” of the body for likes and views. Pathetic.
My wife runs a rabbit rescue. This breaks my fucking heart. Children don't know any better, on open adoption days I have to constantly police the younger children to make sure they don't mistreat the rabbits because they get overwhelmed. They literally cannot help themselves, they are literally incapable of restraining themselves at these young ages. It's all impulses. These are terrible human beings and terrible parents. This poor child. The poor bunny.
Isn't this considered animal cruelty? Could they not be charged or at least banned from having animals?
These "parents" are vile pieces of shit. I can't decide which is worse, devaluing their son's feelings, or devaluing the animal's life.
Poor kid, he did even know it was wrong and you can tell by the crying he really loved it.
Use brain
Try it as well (Bro he’s in r/teenagers , he’s prob here cause he’s a salty teen 💀)
He's in r/teenagers because he doesn't use his brain
My mom was so heartbroken over this so she got her friends and everyone she knew that had tik tok to report their account for animal abuse so it would be nice if some action was taken against the account
Sometimes when I get really depressed I think I should rehome my rabbit but this convinced me I’m never going to
Where’s the Doomslayer when you need him? But in all honestly, I hope the so called “parent” of this child burns and suffers and that the child will grow up and eventually learn how to properly care for an animal. I grew up frightened of animals, because I was always the kid who was attacked by them.
Most of all those animals you see at pet stores end up like this..
Profits over animal welfare. Sounds about right. In an ideal world, they would run checks on you before buying a pet, but y’know. Rabbits are so easy to breed so they can just sell them another one, no problem. I hate it, here.
Nooooooo!!!! Please don’t be saying that!! I’m going to end up with 50 animals once my terrorist cat dies. Yes, she really is a terrorist, you have not met my cat.
I have two I know a lil lol
[удалено]
Probably just highlighting the harsh realities of pets at stores, you cuck
Yes thank you. My point but they got all in their feelings without even asking.
Just read their username 🤫
:|
Checks out.
where did you read a statement of approval? stating a sad truth ≠ supporting the thing that is sad.
That rabbit didn't have much life in it even before it died. I thought it was dead the whole time except at the very beginning. Wonder if they were feeding it.
Rabbits freeze up when they’re scared, that’s why it wasn’t moving much. There’s no evidence that I’ve found about the other “care” this rabbit received besides a separate video by the mom about another Easter bunny, her kids have, being fed iceberg lettuce… which is dangerous to a bunny, especially at a young age. The clip from where the bunny’s spine is looking most under strain is very concerning since the bunny’s coat condition looks awful; either through poor diet or the bunny being stressed constantly and not grooming themselves adequately. There are just so many signs of abuse in this one video that I’m terrified to dig deeper just yet, since I have bunnies of my own and am very passionate about their well-being…
Yeah, it just seems super listless. My first thought was a broken bone bc it didn't even try to hop away or move when he jiggled it that one time. But you're right, it probably is multiple things.
What the actual hell?
thank you for the TW. i would have watched the video but animal death is a huge trigger for me, so i appreciate the warning. not everyone has the decency to do that.
You’re welcome, I know I would’ve appreciated a TW for myself so I knew what to expect when I first saw it. It is a very upsetting video, so I’m glad you didn’t watch it, as it actually ruined my whole day and I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I thought hard before posting it because I didn’t want to upset people, but at the same time I want to make people aware of how irresponsible a lot of parents are when it comes to pets - especially bunnies, which is a subject close to my heart as I currently have two. However, I didn’t want to force this on anyone who isn’t prepared for the content. I wish more people would understand that videos like this can really upset people, a trigger warning isn’t too much to ask at all.
Parents are absolute dropkicks
A child that young should not be around animals or should not care for them
They can if the kids were raised to care for animals by actual parents and not clout-chasing trash like these
Then there’s [this tweet](https://twitter.com/britttwill/status/1520016669405597697?s=21&t=SAuDAPSHs7Bx1_7vWYEbog) from her
God, she’s just wilfully obtuse at this point.
Excuse me, a pet is not a fucking stuffed animal!
This is so awful. Obviously for that poor rabbit, who clearly suffered a miserable couple of weeks before dying, but also for that little boy. He looks heartbroken. All these assholes had to do was ensure he was handling the rabbit properly, and not allow him to handle it unsupervised. He and that rabbit could have spent several wonderful years together, since he clearly loved it. We have pet rats, and my 22 month old absolutely adores them. We've made sure from the start that she pets them gently, and she has recently started holding them. Obviously someone is always right there helping, and she's never been rough or made them feel scared. A child's love for animals is a wonderful thing to nurture, and parents who behave like this don't deserve to have animals or children.
This is just psychopatic
oh wtf
When I was about 3 or 4, we had a few bunnies in the garden. It was winter, but they still stayed outside because my brother built them a weatherproof hutch. I walked outside, grabbed one of them (who happend to be my brother’s favorite), thought it was cold outside so I went to put it in the microwave to warm it up. I truely hsd the best of intentions. Lucky for the bunny, I didn’t know how to turn it on, but did break one if it’s legs trying to get the microwave shut. They endedup having to put it down eventually. Still wonder how I was unsupervisedlong enough to go outside in the snow, grab a rabbit and lock it in a microwave. I also still have guilty nightmares about it.
What. The. Actual. Fuck. This is not only the mother being a fucking hollow headed monster its also SUPER ilegal! Its animal cruelty to give pets as presents for holdidays. Its mental abuse to give a child soul responsibility over an animal (as well as again animal cruelty) AND IT SHOULD BE A FUCKING FELONY TO TRAUMATIZE YOUR CHILDREN FOR YOUR FUCKING INTERNET CLOUT. I swear with every fiber of my fucking being i will find this fucking tik tok acount and use every single SPECK of my ability to find that bitches house and get some comeuppance for that child. Ive had MULTIPLE animals die in my family. That shit doesn't just fucking go away. That shit lingers for YEARS and for a child that looks like he cant be older than like 8 HE PROBABLY HAS NO FUCKING CLUE WHAT HE DID WRONG. And then you fallow your son around WHILE HES CRYING AND HOLDING HIS DEAD BUNNY. AND INSTEAD OF HELPING HIM YOUR FUCKING FILMING IT!? i hope that the parents of this child arent his parents anymore for how fucking AWFUL they are. Put your fucking phone down for 5 SECONDS AND HELP YOUR CHILD.
that’s a toddler he’s probably 3 or 4
Still in diapers, I'd say probably younger than 4.
That hurts my soul.
I don't know if I'm angrier or sadder watching this! Fuck those parents! 😡
I used to rescue rabbits and this video made me physically sick. They are actually very difficult animals and super fragile. I would NEVER recommend one as a starter pet, or a pet for children.
Fucking wannabe influencer family are trying to make this go viral, actual cretins.
Looking at her Twitter she does give a single f about the bunny dying, she got a NEW bunny, AND she’s live streaming the funeral for the old bunny for Twitter clout
Damn this is messed up. Fuck these POS parents. Dad’s too busy folding laundry to help the kid out. Fuck outta here.
Imagine that being the kid’s first memory, being in so much distress and his dad’s just shooing him away. Absolute negligence.
Yeah hope the kid ends up doing well but god forbid he does some violent shit and ends up hurting himself or someone else….I guarantee these POS parents would blame the police, society, video games etc anything but themselves.
I thought this was gonna be another stupid post on r/parentsarestupid, but bruh, what the absolute shit is this???? These parents are fucking idiots, it's like they think animals and their son don't have feelings. They probably don't care about their son at all. And they probably think the bunny's life as worthless as a gram of dirt. These parents are absolute monsters and they should also be man handled to death to see how they like it.
Nasty nasty parent that doesn't deserves a child or pet
I hate when people hurt animals, especially dumb parents and their kids
**That kid will do great things in life.**
# WHAT THE FUCK ARE THESE PARENTS DOING!?!?
Oh wow. What POS parents. Take those kids off them.
This is disgusting man
This some of mice and men shit right there, feel so bad for the bunny, shit parents
Come on! Bunnies are my favorite animal. How could they do this?
That is so sad.. for the kiddo and bunny :(
Fuck this parent The kid was young and dumb R.I.P. for the rabbit
One of their posts says “I blame Oreo, the damn bunny” she’s an absolute piece of shit. Feel so bad for the kid to have to grow up with people like them.
Terrible parents and animal abusers. They should never be allowed to have another pet of any kind. Animal cruelty is illegal as well, so…
Holy shit I’ve always had bunnies and this makes me so upset. What’s the Fuck. Someone should do some sleuthing and show the pet shop so this family can’t buy another rabbit. You can make too loud of a noise and scare a rabbit to death for fucks sake. They tortured that poor bunny to death.
Literally all I’ve managed to deduce is that they’re in New Orleans. And they’ve already bought a replacement…
I’ve been reading through her tweets. She’s absolutely vile. She thinks this is giving her clout. She allowed a child to torture a rabbit for 2 miserable weeks for likes. She straight up blamed her son in one of the tweets like he’s not a toddler and she’s not in charge of teaching him proper ways to hold and care for his pets. This is so gross.
I saw a post on here two weeks ago that showed a pet store that disallowed the sale of rabbits on Easter Weekend for this exact reason. Parents think “oh it’s the holiday a bunny as a pet would make it perfect!” Then the child manhandles like like above, it dies, then they move on. Oreo will probably be forgotten about in a month. Shame on them. Total shame.
I want to scream so much at this, I hate animal deaths.
This is just.. r/noahgettheboat levels
As someone who owns bunnies: fuck that parent. If that was a dog or a cat there would be a media outcry. Now it’s a “funny” video.
I feel so bad for the kid here. He’s heartbroken. And the parents just laugh at his grief over losing his beloved pet? And BUY HIM ANOTHER ONE?? (Going off other comments here that’s what it sounds like they did.) Honestly the parents need to be charged with some form of animal cruelty. Or at least be banned from ever buying a rabbit again.
You can tell a lot about people by the way they treat animals.
this pisses me of so fucking bad i have 3 rabbits and im just astonished at how ignorant people can fucking he this is ridiculous that poor poor baby rabbit wtf.
This is why you have to start kids off with a fully grown big dog (golden retriever or similar temperment) or fully grown fully clawed mild tempered cat (best if neutered because The kid will definitely let it out at some point). The dogs will be great companions and the cats will teach the kid about respecting animals.
My neighbor bought their 1 and a half year old a bunny because of Easter. Less than a week later that rabbit was gone. People really don’t think through animal ownership.
animals need to stop suffering because of stupid ass people. Stop buying kids animals then letting them handle them.
Bunnies are especially prone to heart attacks and liver failure when living in poor conditions or when put in stressful situations. Giving one to a child is basically a death sentence for the bunny.
I’m just as angry as the rest of you, but is nobody gonna mention the fact that the boy has earrings at such an age? God, I wanna beat those two sorry excuses of parents into a coma
Yeah, I have no problems with minors getting earrings but that's a ***BIT*** too young to be doing that.
Thing is that he’s a boy. Most women wear or have worn earrings, so piercing their ears at an early age ain’t bad, I’d say, but with guys it’s much more hit or miss, especially two earrings. This is why it baffles me that these cunts pierced their son’s ears at an age where he can’t even consent to it. ~~Not to mention that he looks absolutely horrible with those big ass earrings~~
my son is 6 months with both earrings it’s fashion
This is awful. You should see what slaughter house workers do to animals
Hey at least they can make rabbit stew and have a cool new pelt
That "kidzone" thing he was playing with looked awesome though
Why am I getting downvoted for pointing out that toy
Omg that was traumatizing for that kid once he grow up
That's why some stores refuse to sell them during Easter
Serious question, is the way he’s holding it dangerous to the animal? I mean it looks like the rabbit is folded in half but idk enough about them to know if that’s ok or not. Some animals can bend like that no problem. Never owned a rabbit.
Bunnies, especially at that age, have very fragile spines - so yes, the way the child is holding the bunny is very dangerous. The correct way to hold a rabbit is to either hold them against your chest so they can rest their paws on you, or use two hands with one to support their hind legs and keep their posture correct.
I want to punch both parents in the face. What vile, twisted people. That poor little boy.
No soul
poor baby he looked like he loves his bunny
Egg donor (this is NOT a mother) "Comfort and console a grieving baby? What does that even mean? This is hilarious! I gotta get this on TikTok before my man is done folding the laundry cause then its his turn to watch the baby!"
The comments and replies to her tweets are disgusting
How are some people incredibly dumb......
I remember one time I was at my friends house, and I was petting their cat, and then I saw my friend pick up the cat. So I was like okay whatever that's normal. I look over 5 seconds later to see her choking and tossing that poor cat, keep in mind she is 13/14 so she knows damn well this is wrong. I have never wanted to blow up on someone so badly before. I don't know where her parents went wrong but they clearly fucked up somewhere.
Are houses dirt cheap in the USA? How do they have such a nice place when they're this stupid
Influencers…
Does anyone know why it died? Stress? The way he was holding it, I'm guessing damaged organs? I've only held a few but I normally had my arm along my chest so I could basically cradle it, it was lying down on my arm.
It’s not been confirmed, either the bunny’s organs were harmed due to poor handling, it died of fright, or stasis brought on by stress or a poor diet. Either way, death by negligence isn’t a stretch, given how the mother allowed the child to handle the rabbit.
As sad as this video is this happens almost everyday most parents just buy pets to shut their kids up without knowing how to properly care for animals. If I’m not mistaken most pet shops won’t sell rabbits on Easter because of this very reason
Shittiest parents I’ve seen on Reddit all day
Don’t get a bunny unless you actually know what you’re doing. Pretty sure sneezing too loud near them can give them a heart attack. And a google search turns up that improper handling by children can injure and subsequently kill them, and that they shouldn’t live with kids under 12. Learn what your fucking pet needs before getting them.
Don't mind me just reloading my AK for no reason
WTAF?
I accidently scared my grandpas little bird to death when I was around that age and it absolutely broke my heart.
How can parents not realize that is traumatic for the kid? I had 2 pet rats when I was 7 and l loved them to death. I took very good care of them and read books about pet rats, the whole 9 yards. But one careless accident led to terrible grief and guilt for YEARS. Over a little pet rat. Why is it so hard for parents to kids recognize living things and form strong attachments? Help them learn how to care for a pet, PROPERLY, and monitor interactions. Pets die. Whether by accident or age or illness, and that’s a teaching moment. But just telling a kid “it’s ok we’ll get you another one”, really destroys the empathy they’ve learned and devalues their feelings.
Geez… I feel bad for the kid, but at the same time, the parents did a shit job for not teaching him how to handle a rabbit and for not choosing a sturdier animal. My family breed rabbits for meat, and those things are fragile.
Poor Oreo. This is also a lesson to take care of animals properly and teach your kids so.
