What business do you have saying Desantis doesn't know what he's talking about touting the MAB infusion as an effective treatment against Omicron. As a registered nurse, I work in a department that administers these infusions daily and have witnessed the effectiveness of monoclonal antibody therapies administered to patients. Many improve within 24 hours. You clearly, along with every other corrupt politician and institution, have an agenda to push the vaccine. It's absolutely wrong to write this article as if you know anything about what actually happens to those sick with Omicron and have been effectively treated with MAB infusions. They work. I know many people who can vouch for them. Just like most other news, you are biased and have an agenda do what's the point in reading your opinions. Have some credibility.

THIS idea of teaching responsibility with an animal or that certain animals are a stepping stone to a dog or cat is so misguided. Parents need to be prepared to care for the pet when the child inevitably loses interest. Pets are lifelong commitments - especially rabbits, they live until 12+ years if properly cared for...and they certainly are NOT cuddly or good for young children.They cost as much as a cat or dog for veterinary care and it is nothing shy of criminal to deny them that.

Be responsible and do not add to the problem of pet abandonment, neglect and suffering by printing articles such as this horrible, inaccurate one! Thank you.

See: https://rabbit.org/ for accurate and responsible information.

In the article "Baby Hacks", the first two ideas are extremely dangerous and should be pulled from airing. I am a Pediatrician working in a hospital and think that two of these ideas pose a serious risk to injuring or killing kids. Taping the plastic bag of glitter or tiny objects to a high chair is a terrible idea. The bag could break or accidentally open and baby puts those tiny pieces in mouth potentially causing a suffocation hazard or aspiration into the airway. Also, no parent should allow a baby to play with a plastic bag. EVER!!! These are a major suffocation risk if they can get at any or part of the bag. Also, sucking on whole mango is a bad idea. The skin of a mango contains compounds akin to poison oak (urushiol). This can cause severe allergic reactions and skin changes similar to a first or second degree BURNS. I've seen it happen a few times. This reaction can also be delayed by hours or days, thus confusing a parent as to the cause. This is a BAD IDEA. Please remove the content!!!!

Your "Trial Pets..." article severely miscalculates the time, work, knowledge, and financial investment required to provide for the animals named in the article, many of which are exotic animals with care requirements that may meet or exceed the demands of a dog. Consider how the language used in this article, "trial," "low-maintenance," "starter," etc., encourages a devaluation of the lives of these living creatures. While shelters and rescue groups work tirelessly to encourage responsible animal ownership, uninformed and inaccurate articles like this plant different seeds in the minds of readers and sow mistrust of the advise of experts whose information greatly contradicts the harmful narrative that you portray here.

I encourage you to consider removing this article and publishing a revision. Rabbit Rescue & Rehab (nyc.metro.rabbits@gmail.com) would gladly contribute to an article informing your readers about the special care needs of rabbits and highlighting the sheer magnitude of rabbit surrenders, outdoor abandonments (a death sentence for a domestic rabbit), and mistreatment that occurs year round but peaks at Easter time. Please reach out to us; we would happily collaborate to correct this article.

I am flabbergasted this was allowed to be published. No animals are trial pets! Each animal is a commitment and deserves to be well looked after. This is a misleading article because majority of animals take a lot of work, especially rabbits and they are not suited for kids! This article shows a lack of competency on behalf of the author for not doing research. This needs to be rectified immediately, with a factual article
Published about the realities of rabbit care. This article will be responsible for parents getting their children rabbits, which are ten year commitments, and then the rabbit getting neglected once the children get bored and complete their ‘trial’ and get a dog. I am just speechless at the negligence and I hope this is fixed immediately.
