Okay, this is me, blodding about my tramatic experience. The rabbits on our agricultue farm, which is were I got Hadley, nail's were getting really long, so the teacher asked me if I could bring up my nail clippers and do all of the rabbits for him. His other option was using wire cutter, so I said yes, duh. So I went up today at lunch time, and did most of them. We have a few meat rabbits, which no one thinks are cute, so they don't get handled as much, which sucks, and they have black noses and black feet. Like it wasn't hard enough trying to hold them and cutting nails at the same time, I coulnd't even see their nails. Anyways, the front feet, while difficult, went somewhat smoothly, and I moved onto the baack ones. I didn't notice for a minute, and was about to do another nail, when suddenly there was blood everywhere. It was so scary. It would not stop bleeding. It soaked through three tissuse. And I'm talking, really thick, red blood. One of my friends, who panics way to easily was in hysterics at this point, screaming and jumping up and down. The teacher came over and was just like, 'It's fine. Just let him go and it will clot.' Well, I really didn't have any other choice, but the rabbit kicked out when I was putting him down, and flicked blood all over me. All over my shirt and my arm looked similar to chickenpox. I washed my arm but there was nothing I could do about my shirt, and I had to go to 5th and 6th period wearing it. I could bearly look at my bunny when I got home, becuase I'm so creeped out. I just feel...icky. I can't really explain it.

Anyways, just thought I'd put it out there. My friends were more like "Omg, how could you do that to an animal?!" And not very supportive.
