Iris came to the
sanctuary a couple of years ago. She and nine other rabbits lived in a small wire cage without proper food and water. They were, so far as animal control could discern, being raised for food. There were turkeys, ducks, geese, and pigeons on the property as well. We found homes for all the animals, except one turkey and three rabbits. In a tragic turn of events, one of the rabbits broke her back at the vet when a vet tech took her out of her crate. She never recovered and was euthanized. Iris' son displayed a genetic defect of splayed legs and was placed into a home with other special-needs bunnies.
Iris is one of two rabbits at the sanctuary - amazingly, really - who will tolerate us touching her. Really, she's the only rabbit due to the fact that the other rabbit lets you touch her, then bites you.
The turkey, Willow, remains with us. And gives us this look frequently:
This is either her I hate you, die now look or I love you, please be my Tom turkey look.
