As I have started before, I have 2 rabbits and I am a volunteer with House Rabbit Network. I adopted our first rabbit, Bunny, through a shelter and then when I felt it was right to get another I adopted Jack through HRN. I love them to peices, although they eat my books and Jack ate the buttons off the TV remote. Techniqually, all of tht stuff is boiled odwn to being my fault for leaving it without nibbling range for them. No matter what they do we love them to pieces.
In addition to the emails I get as a volunteer, I follow HRN on their facebook page for updates. Most of the status updates are fun with links to the blog and announcements about rabbits that have been with the org for a while are finally adopted. Sadly today’s update had to do with a case of 64 rabbits being seized from a trailer in Marboro NY. {video in the link} A woman had all of these rabbits in a trailer in unsanitary conditions and without food or water. At this point she is being charged with 64 counts of failure to provide proper sustenance under state agriculture and markets law.
I’m really hoping that I can help out in some way since some rabbits will be heading to HRN. At this point, nothing is too small… driving to pick up the rabbits in NY, donating some hay, pellets, cleaning cages, etc. As much as this horrible thing has happened I know that I can do something to right this wrong.
