HRS (Local amazing rabbit group who even brought my hutch buns indoors years ago...should have seen the look they gave me when I told them at a convention.)
has reports of animal abuse cases and lots of other rabbit info;
But I wanted to share for those of you who hadn't heard about Lucky...
She was taped to dynamite and thrown out in a lake; the city was somewhere around Hayward which is less then an hour from my own town. Luckfully it didn't detonate - poor poor bunster, the "owner" retrieved her from the water and him and a group of others took pictures of her in this state and posted them on the internet where visitors to the site immediately took alert- She lives happily with two other bunnies right now; but the whole thing is crushing; I found out about it a few nights ago and was just it total disgust, never wanted to cuddle a bunny more.

Her story as well as news sources are posted - I went through them and was disgusted to find that the "owner" that did this to her wants to study Biology at UC Santa Barbara (a wee bit south) ...that's a BAD mix.
Another abuse case happened in Richmond (near Oakland if you've heard of this area...not a pleasant one)
This is just beyond explaining...so I'll leave the clicking the link up to you.

On a less devastating note I just realised it was a .org site so I'm sure they span far out the US. None the less an amazing organization.
