TaijaS Woolly Secret

I've been away for few days to get my woolly secret home.Which meant two days in a car on roads.

This is Finland. Hundreds of kilometers through forests. The fences edge the roads to keep mooses in the woods.

And just when you think it can't be true, just woods and wilderness, there comes a tiny village or a town.

The only survival instruction for a road trip through Finland is: refill your fuel and stomach and go to the toilet when ever you see a gas station even if you don't feel need to -it might be the only one in 300 kilometers....

My road trip was long but worth of it. We got our Angora Rabbits home.

It is a long term dream and have needed 6 moths of organizing but for sure all the pain was worth of it.

We bought our rabbits from Villa Laurila which is a beautiful farm for the animals too. All the pups can spend time with their mothers there. And their mothers are allowed to carry on their natural sense of mothering. The animals didn't feel fear against us strange humans and were not afraid of handling. The animals have proper space for living. I had no my measure with me but I am sure the sizes of the boxes, cages, pens and pastures were much bigger than The Animal Protection Laws require.

And no, I didn't got the rabbits free or with discount to advertise the farm. This is just my experience and information for you who are seeking ethic breed, raised or produced animals or materials made of them. This is just an inspiration for you to think it all could be different if more people would care or be aware of the cruelties humans and animals face because of clothing business.

At PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) web site is more information about the facts Angora Rabbits face because of clothing business. If you are a sensitive person, don't go to see; just know, it is not worth of buying.
