I received a response from her.
Dear LB,
Thank you very much for your communication. I truly appreciate the time and loving heart it took to write and share with me. This post was written last year and Jack found "her" way back to the front porch, where we made a cozy home for her and she made great friends with our two young cats
Our farmer/neighbor friend raises these meat rabbits, so we knew what we were getting in that respect.
One of the truly beautiful things I have found in this blessed life is that people live and learn in different ways; sometimes it's an easy way and sometimes it's a difficult way. To this very moment, I feel what we did with Jack Lapin was the right thing to do. My family lives and loves our wild setting out here and we also experience some tough losses with the predators, including our sweet hens.
I, too, love animals but I could only love a rabbit as much as children, if I didn't have my own (children). However, I do not stand in judgement about your feelings in this regard, and honestly am just very glad to know that in this age of so many horrible, intentional happenings to both children and animals, that you are one who chooses good over evil.
Have a wonderful, blessed day.
Sincerely,
Shellie
