MacGyver Bunny
Warren Scout
I wanted to share this with you guys, it is simply amazing.
The short version is: A year ago a breeder in Reno, NV, USA decided to dump all his buns in a local park to fend for themselves. A local rescue began rounding up the herd and calling out to other rescues to help take in the buns. The Rabbit rescue that I deal with in Michigan took on the most buns out of all of other rescues- 511 rabbits! They had a huge pasture bunny proofed along with a barn and the rabbits were brought all the way from from Reno in a convoy of air conditioned trucks, a 4 day drive (stopping along the way for food, water, refreshing- of course). Recently, another rescue decided they couldn't handle the 108 buns they had, and turned them over to the Michigan rescue, bringing the total to 619 rabbits all living together. While there have been squabbles, and a bun has been removed here and there, for the most part they all live peacefully in their HUGE enclosure, spending their 'retirement' eating grass and living free from unwanted litters. Yes, several vets donated their time and resources to spay/neuter EVERY SINGLE BUN!
