Flynn's story...

This is Flynn. Flynn's story is long, so let me start at the beginning.



Flynn was your typical pet shop bunny. He was seen as a cute baby and brought for the children. At first, he was the best thing the kids had seen, but as time went on, Flynn was roughly handled as the children were not shown how to treat a rabbit, and he was forgotten about. He went days without being fed, or given any attention.

These people moved house into a property where they were not allowed pets, so dumped Flynn on a friend - his second owner. In this home, Flynn was confined to a hutch in the garden and once again, Flynn was forgotten about. Once again he went without food, this time for week long periods. This person admitted to forgetting she had him. The second owner's friend grew concerned about Flynn's welfare and eventually persuaded her to bring him indoors. This time he only went days without food.

The second owner had a dog who mothered Flynn and the dog had at least two phantom pregnancies due to mothering the rabbit. The dog also guarded the people from Flynn which as you can imagine, was very scary for Flynn as the dog would stand over him and growl at the people to get away. As if this wasn't bad enough, the toddler in the home used to roughly handled Flynn and picked him up by the ears regularly.

The friends of the second owner begged us to help, which of course we agreed to. You may think Flynn is an older rabbit, perhaps 6+ just by looking at that skinny frame, poor condition and dull look in his eyes... well you would be wrong. This little boy is just two years old.

When the people left I had a good look over him. Not only is he skin and bone, but he is covered in running lice which was very uncomfortable for him. I held him close and told him everything was going to be ok now...

We are very lucky that Flynn hasn't gone into gut statis, and quite frankly how he hasn't is nothing short of a miracle. He wolfed down a big bowl of food and some hay. This little angel will be seen by our vet and we can do our best to bring him back to full health.

Once again, I am ashamed to be human. Flynn never asked to be born. He never asked to be passed around like an unwanted toy. All I can say now is that you are safe Flynn , and you will be for the rest of your days xx

This has made my cry, I'm so sorry people have given you such a sad life little guy. You will be safe now x

I am sat here in tears as Flynn's face say's it all to me it's just filled with sorrow.

Why will people never learn and why must these innocent wonderful animals be hurt like this how can you forget to feed something so precious that you are suppose to care for and look after. I don't think I have see such a sad face on a rabbit like this for a long time and it break's my heart.

I'm going to show Mike this little fellow when he comes in and I know he will be just as upset and as annoyed as me

Thank God for people like you Anna, you are safe at last little one.

i'm so glad you got him in time he is such a lovely little lad

That is so sad Disgusting behaviour by all concerned. How can you just "forget"? It makes me so damned angry

He is a tough little cookie, to have survived all that.

I hope, when you are ready, you find the perfect home, Flynn.

What an amazing job you do, how you don't throw things at people, I'll never know!! Please give him a hug from me!

It's tempting sometimes!

Poor Flynn, he looks so sad

Oh, poor, poor boy

People disgust me. To think that this poor little guy was going week-long periods without any fresh food makes me sick. What is wrong with people? It is absolutely terrible.

I think his face shows all of the suffering he has been through. You are safe now though Flynn, you little soldier

Animals never cease to amaze me. Flynn has been through hell and had a rotten life, surrounded by people he couldn't trust. I have just been out to see him, he hopped over to me, lowered his head and let me rub him behind his ears. He enjoyed it so much he closed his eyes. What a special creature. We could learn a lot from these gentle animals...

He can obviously tell the good people from the bad

What a little sweetie he sounds!

I keep coming back to have a look and every time I cry

Words fail me

The look on his face in the photos says it all. Please can we have a new pic in a couple of weeks when he has something to smile about?

I agree with all Sparky has said (on this thread).

You do a brilliant job Anna.

I will keep you up to date with his progress

Poor Flynn that picture is so heartbreaking. I'm so pleased for him that you've got him and he knows love now. People really make me sick.

I think this is why I love animals so much as I was abused and hurt by people and in some way's understand how they feel, fortunately I could get help in the end animals don't always have that choice sadly

How can anyone forget they have a little bun? I do wonder what dimension thse people come from. I am so glad he will be happy and loved for the rest of his life, I just wish it were a happy ending for all buns in his situation.

This made me cry too, what a lovely little chum he is.

Hugs

Today we waved Flynn goodbye as he set off to his new home, where I know he is going to be so happy and given everything he should have from day one. I am really going to miss him, but his new family are going to spoil him and he has two bunny friends to live with

Aww, yay!!

Enjoy your fab new home Flynn! If anybun deserves it, you do

i'm so pleased for the little guy

I got so upset when I was reading about Flynn .
Not rabbit should have that kind of life .
Poor little Guy
I got angry too,angry at the fact that humans did this to him,How can we say that we're the greatest species If we do things like this! .
If we would just learn from animals they'd teach us alot.
