Only animal lovers will understand

Since the last time i had rabbits for the past 10 years and recently again. I tend to realise that many people cant understand why i can be sad over the loss of a "rabbit". the answer is the bond and attachment to it. You dont see it as an animal but a companion and part of ur life.

many had pets for the sake of having one, following the trend of being a pet-owner, to kill time, for gf to make her happy, etc but not to understand them. Only those who can see what these amazing animals can do when they r not human, yet they themselves have feelings too, for u.

Since yesterday, i hear people around me said

"its just a rabbit, for goodness sake"
"buy a new one lor"
" chey, its only a rabbit, not even a dog"

words like this, actually hurt me more, cos if u dun understand, and wanna help. Just dun give any comments.
becos to me
ITS MORE THAN THAT

its a living thing just like us and not as fortunate as just to able to have more things in life. In fact, to them, we are all they have.

so pls dun say such words. i will even feel sad for a hamster.
