Hi:wave:
We are trying to set up an animal rescue here in Iceland (there is none in the country so far) but now in the beginning we are mainly focusing on rabbits.
I frequently search the Icelandic animal forums to find rabbits in need and we have built a website and people are starting to contact us, both to get rid of rabbits or looking to adopt.
BUT, it seems like when people loose interest in their bunnies - they just let them out in the wild! (and the Icelandic climate isn't really favourable for pet bunnies...). Is this common in Britain as well? And how are you guys dealing with it? Are there any laws against this?
I was so sad yesterday when I read a thread on an Icelandic forum from a girl who had gone out and hunted 5 wild bunnies, taken them in (this was last fall) and now she was bored with one of them and wanted to let it out again...
Thanks! I don't know what I would do without this forum
