PETA discovered that a rabbit-breeding operation in Riverside County, California, had tried to sell off all its bunnies on the Internet. The breeders had been selling rabbits for fur, meat, and reptile food, and now they no longer wanted the business.
As is often the case with animals used by breeders, the rabbits were living outside in filthy feces-filled cages. Sitting on the wire cage bottoms caused sores and wounds to develop on their feet, and flies were swarming around them. One of the breeders admitted that the cages had not been cleaned in a year! The vulnerable rabbits had no escape from the filth, no grass, and no semblance of a real life.
PETA hopped to, working to get all the bunnies out of there. We moved quickly, as one of the bunnies was already lying dead inside a cage.
Our friends at the San Diego Humane Society and SPCA agreed to provide the animals with urgently needed veterinary care. The rabbits were suffering from various medical problems, including dental issues, overgrown claws, skin sores, hair loss, and respiratory problems.
