Dear Friends,

In April 2009, the rabbit community as well as the animal community lost one of
its greatest advocates, Amy Espie.

As many of our members know, Amy has been with House Rabbit Society since before
we were even founded. She was featured in the first edition of the House Rabbit
Handbook, and was one of the seven people who initially formed the House Rabbit
Society along with Marinell and Bob Harriman back in 1988. Since that time,
she's been a fosterer, an educator, our first Education Director, a board
member, a sanctuary fosterer, and a House Rabbit Journal writer and editor.

Her work to save rabbits, and all animals, will continue to have an impact on
the world for years to come.

To read a memorial to Amy, and to see a beautiful video about her impact,
compiled by Marinell Harriman and using photos and videos of Amy's, please go to
