Our animal friends are definately growing in numbers at our place in Tamatave!
First was our dog, P'tite Fille. She was born during the last year's cyclone among 6 puppies. She loves to play with children, and thanks to her, Leo has gotten over his fear of dogs. He used to be afraid of dogs so much, we sometimes had to walk around the block to avoid neighbour's dogs. Now he pets and hugs the dog like a pro.
Then, joined the baby rabbits. The rabbits are from a local market, Bazar Kelly. We can find the rabbits on sale only before big festivities, like Christmas and New Year's. Against the rabbit seller's strong advice, "Buy those bigger ones! These ones are too small. They will never be ready even for next year's Christmas!!" we got the cuttest baby rabbits. Within a few months, they ate through not only carrots and cabbages, but literally the entire flower garden and shrubs around the house!!
Don't worry. They will still be there even after the next year's Christmas.
Only two weeks ago, I went to a Halal chicken store. I'm not a muslam, but with the big muslam population here, many meat stores are Halal. Unlike other days, the cashier asked me if i wanted to buy his live chicks. They were 6 days old, and stayed in his dark back store, with piled up boxes of who-knows-what's-in-them! It could be their future, for you-know-who's sake!! Gees.
I said, "humm. why not," and came home with 1 kg of frozen chicken breast to make chicken curry with little peas, 1 whole chicken for the roast, 4 chicken drumsticks to try out home-made shaken' bake, and the 3 beautiful chickiri-papiri-doos. They are so cute that they don't even look like birds(I am scared of birds.) They are like these soft and fluffy yellow blobs.

You write so well Ami that you could start children's books and I am sure they would sell like hot cakes!
