I won't add pics as upsetting but the lady who took the photo said:
The image here was taken by a rabbit savvy member of the public in the last week or so. She went to speak to a member of staff when they saw this newborn kit out of the nest, mum exhausted and in unsatisfactory conditions. The staff did nothing and apparently left the kit to die.
The lady who took the photos writes
"On the last day of my holiday I witnessed the most appalling scenes of rabbit neglect at a children's theme park called Crealy just outside Exeter. All rabbits were in tiny hutches on sawdust, with no hay and just muesli to eat. All of them were either pregnant or had litters and were exhibiting severe signs of heat exhaustion. The large barn was so hot that I nearly collapsed trying but failing to get some help for them. One baby bun around three days old looked as if she/he had either made her way out of the nest or the mother had removed her. When I pointed this out I was told: 'Well it has been there a couple of days and it is still alive.' Unbelievably while I was there those in charge yanked the does out from their hutches to trim their overgrown nails. I tried to explain that you don't do this when they have their young and are pregnant but my pleas fell on deaf ears. I am pleased to say the humans got bitten and scratched quite badly. I feel really bad because I could not help these poor rabbits and I don't know what to do. The amazing thing is that the guinea pigs lived in wonderful outdoor enclosures with lots of shade and huge wendy houses. I plan to contact Crealy management but would love some support from someone living locally who is aware of this situation or indeed, anyone. Something has got to be done to save these rabbits, and yes, I have photos...."
The RWA are now involved. They say to : Please write on their Facebook page, TripAdvisor and if you have been call the RSPCA.
Please do not visit Devons Crealy in Exeter and please tell them why you won't be going too.
