The new group needs foster homes to continue saving bunnies
A new group has been formed to deal with the problem of pet bunnies that have been abandoned outside in the Greater Sudbury area.
Not being able to find any local animal shelters that take in abandoned bunnies, Iturregui decided to start her own group, which she has initially called “Sudbury Bunny Snatchers.” Given rabbits are notoriously agile and evasive, this can be difficult to do. The volunteers try to corner the bunnies, and employ a variety of tools, including animal x-pen cages, carriers and fishing nets.
“Rabbits can reproduce very quickly,” she said. “If they take over, they’ll burrow in people’s lawns, under sheds. Eventually, that will cause a lot of issues and they'll have 70 or more rabbits running around one area.” In order to continue rescuing rabbits, the group needs more foster homes as well as permanent homes for the animals.
