Is Your Rabbit Road Worthy?

Haredly a day goes by when the Amazing Animal News office isn't excited by a new facility or venture designed to improve our pets' lives. Fresh in the AAN inbox today was news of free MOTs for rabbits.

Yes, geek veterinary scientists at Bristol University have announced The Rabbit Clinic, the UK's first and only dedicated rabbit-only clinic! Spokesperson Sharon Redrobe, Head of the Rabbit Clinic at Langford, said: "Even if your rabbit looks fine, it's still a good idea to bring them in for a quick MOT." So don't hang around bunny-lovers, hop on down to Langford and give your rabbit a servicing.

The opening of the clinic coincides with National Rabbit Week 2009, during which the message that rabbits are 'fibrevores' will be promoted. As part of the week's events members of the Bristol public are invited to a Rabbit Awareness evening at the Small Animal Practice on Tuesday 27 January. If you have been unaware of rabbits until this time, AAN strongly urges you to attend this event.

My name is Bronx. I'm a bulldog. And I'm an alcoholic.

Metro has the shocking story of a dog forced to become an alcoholic:

A man who plied a dog with Stella Artois lager has received the first ever conviction for getting a dog drunk.

Andrew Wilson, 31, of Bristol, gave American bulldog Bronx a can of Stella Artois beer and was accused of forcing him to drink vodka before giving the hound a beating.

By the time he was found he was over the drink drive limit for a human, it has been reported.
