What to do if a family member is abusive towards my pet bunny?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Other | Unknown - Other | Male

My brother, one time, forced me to use the broom to get him out certain places and made me repeat what he said saying that "the bunny didn't get hurt", I feel bad about myself and I am ashamed of myself, any advice?

I remember previous posts you have made about your brother, your bunny, and yourself. I'm concerned he is abusive to both you and the bunny, and you need to keep him away from Boston Bunnelby. I also think you should talk to your parents about what is going on, and maybe seek some counseling for yourself. Best of luck.
