A Chocolate Easter Bunny is Best L.A. Animal Services offers tips for bringing home a rabbit

As the Easter holiday approaches, L.A. Animal Services reminds the community that real rabbits, chicks and ducklings don't always make the best gifts. Often these animals are sold illegally on the streets or in pet stores as tiny babies that are not strong enough to be adopted or are ill and many die soon after purchase leaving everyone heartbroken.

You can also take this opportunity to educate young children about rabbits and pet responsibility. READ MORE
