my latest piece! 🐇 a commissioned drawing for Save The Buns 🤍 featuring rescued New Zealand white rabbits, an open cage, broken syringes and discarded lab equipment (such as awful rabbit restrainers)

Animal testing is completely outdated and morally reprehensible and ought to exist only as an ugly chapter in a history book 💉

Save The Buns, Inc. is a 501c3 nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide adoption or sanctuary to rabbits used in animal testing. Additionally, they promote alternatives over the use of animals in testing and research 🐰
