Hey, does
anyone care?
It only takes one bite from a tiny, insignificant mosquito
to 
end the life of a family's pet bunny! 
Of course mosquitoes do not have a premeditated scheme to indiscriminatly spread our government’s
weapon of choice
– the silently fatal virus called Myxomatosis.
Inestimable thousands of harmless pet rabbits
have suffered and died for no justifiable reason whatsoever. The cruel tragedy was deliberately introduced and legally endorsed
as from 1950 – a grand total of
sixty one years ago!
A very long time by anyone's standard!
See source: http://www.csiro.au/science/Myxomatosis-History.html
and interestingly mentions: "It was the world's first successful biological
control program of a mammalian pest . . ." – though why not also boast to 'successfully' assassinate
adorable pet bunnies, which if they take the time to notice actually come in wonderfully, amazing
array of breeds, colours and personalities!
Sadly, pet rabbits will continue to be ‘biologically
controlled’ unless authorities are made aware of their misinformed, careless blunder!
Pet rabbits and their devastated owners desperately
need you to voice your care and concern. To date, they’ve never had a choice in the matter and whatever they’ve endured just seems to be casually
ignored or
falls on deaf ears.
Watch this UK video and ask yourself why have we had to put
up without
a vaccine for such a long time?

As an animal lover, please show your support by joining
the new Myxomatosis Hotline website: http://www.myxomatosis.com.au/
This helpful, innovative site contains a map of recently reported myxo outbreaks across Australia.
It is easy to register and add a memorial to bunnies you’ve lost to myxo. Or otherwise could just let everyone know
about how much you love your rabbits and how important they are
to your family.
* The government is monitoring the Myxomatosis website
to find out how many people are interested in
having a vaccine available for Australian pet rabbits.
You can also sign online petition appealing for
a Myxomatosis vaccine:

Please help these
worthy campaigns by sharing this info with your friends and family as well as adding the above links to your websites.

I don't intend to reprint hard copies again so I'd suggest
you'd best grab
a copy while limited editions are still available!
As an alternative option
however, I plan to convert and seperate chapters into a number of e-books. Take for instance people could choose
to purchase whichever topical subjects they specifically need or are interested in the most. In the meantime
it's going to take a some effort and a lot of my time to produce all of the e-books . . . K 
to Pet Rabbit World!
I hope you have an interesting time browsing around and of course you're
more than welcome to pop in again,
