Last male of purebred rabbit species dies

aww thats so sad....makes me never wana buy a fur again!!

 

sad!! that's right in my neck of the woods and i had no idea...

 

That is really sad. I wonder, in all seriousness, if cloning could be used in a helpful way at some point in this situation? That little bunny was just so tiny and sweet...

 

Poor little guy. They are very cute!

 

SO cute! I love bunnies, probably because they're similar in size to my dogs.

 

The article didn't mention how he died. That's so sad. Just when it's mating season, too.

 

:cry::cry::cry:

so cute and tiny. i didn't even know about them until now. that's sad.

 

That's so sad.... I wonder when we as a civilization will start caring about the environment and all the creatures that depend on it..

 

I read that earlier this morning and it made me really sad

 

that is so sad. i absolutely love bunnies.
i saw a baby jack rabbit at my school today...he was sooo tiny and i was worried that he might get hit by a car b/c he was awfully close to the road. hopefully his mom came back and lectured him not to play so close to cars!

 

Yes, that's what I was thinking too.
It's very very sad.

And I agree with what the executive director of the Idaho-based Western Watersheds Project said in that article: "Any time we lose a species it diminishes us all."

 

*sigh* what a tragedy.

 

Aww, poor baby. I used to have pet rabbits as a kid - dwarves, not pygmy - and I can't fathom losing a whole species of them like this. I really hope the crossbreeding program proves successful.
