## Resource

In this heart-to-heart episode, Dixie sits down with Maria , a dedicated animal advocate and "bunny whisperer" from New Orleans, to discuss a growing epidemic: the surge of abandoned domestic rabbits. As Easter approaches, Maria sheds light on why bunnies are the "ultimate impulse buy" and the devastating consequences that follow when the novelty wears off. From a serendipitous rescue in the middle of a city street to forming a powerful network of "Bunny Advocates," Maria shares her journey and the deep emotional bond these intelligent, social animals offer. Whether you're a long-time rabbit lover or considering adding a fluffy friend to your family, this episode is a must-listen for understanding the responsibility and reward of rabbit rescue.
