PASRBA Convention 2008

The huge PA Convention 2-7&8-2008 a fun show and a welcome break from this long and miserable winter. There were 2 OPEN shows and 1 Spec. BOB in all three shows the lovely GC SILVERTONE GRAND DIVA. In colored sr. doe classes show A was won by a terrific mature tort doe owned by Alex Stepnoski out of Silvertone bloolines.........Spec. show colored sr. doe and granding GC SILVERTONE GLAMOUR GAL. Sundays show B included a newcomer who won the sr. colored doe SILVERTONE FERGIE. The colored sr. doe also won BOV all 3 shows. Congratulations Billie Jo Harper, Jessica Fuller and Lori White, I wish them the very best with their new bunnies. As usual I will add pics later
BISS was an exceptional FA owned and bred by Amy Spang.

On a different note exhibitors, Angora and others should be more careful to have CLEAN carriers, and or carriers that are the appropriate size for the rabbit. I am sorry to say that filthy carriers and carriers so small the rabbit could not sit up or turn around were seen by all. Cruel confinement at any time should not be allowed. I want to say that I am not talking about a smaller cage...or a days worth of rabbit droppings. I am talking about EXTREME conditions. Tolerance for this behaviour is unforgivable. These bunnies have no voice and no control of their situation. Rabbits should be valued and lovingly cared for at home and at the shows. If we value our hobby .........we must be committed promoting the ethical treatment of rabbits.
