An animal protection officer seized 32 of her rabbits from a filthy downtown Vancouver home that was being used as a commercial bunny breeding operation.
BC SPCA senior officer Eileen Drever said rabbits live in "substandard and unsanitary conditions."
"The room smelled strongly of urine and feces when our officers entered," she said Drever. "Floors, window sills, and beds were dirty, with cockroaches and other insects crawling all over." Only the windows were ventilated.
"The room was dirty and had high levels of ammonia," says Drever. "Many rabbits, from newborn to adult, had urine-soaked fur." was only hay.
Rabbit was already at her limit, being sheltered at her SPCA facility around the Lower Mainland. “We now have about 140 rabbits, which is nearly double what we had at this time last year,” says Drever.
"We hope to find homes for these cute animals. Also, anyone interested in adopting a rabbit can visit spca.bc.ca/adoptI encourage you to check my profile.” She said she also needs foster parents.
Further information on rabbit care and feeding is available on the SPCA website.
