Rabbits dumped along South Shore -

Another in the never-ending series of stories showing how many people are uncaring, cruel, irresponsible, and heartless when it comes to domestic animals. I will never understand people like that.

And we thought newsday had turned its back on hard news.

I've had a black pet rabbit for just over a year .She is a sweet little creature ,has the run of a small room and is litter trained .She interacts well with my two dogs . There isn't much care involved just ten minutes a day to clean the box everyday, make sure there's sufficient rabbit type foods and clean water .Children should be taught long term responsibility .

Nah, you got a story about dead baby ducks or squashed kittens or an escaped cow, Newsday is all over it like ugly on an ape.

Zeppo, who left you unchained?

Anyone who abuses animals is a scumbag

Stories like this break my heart. These animals are so defenseless. How can people be so uncaring?

Well, I guess if people would use a plumbing snake on a mentally disabled man, dumping off a box of rabbits seems a bit tame, no?

Talkiing about scumbags, Zeppo and his ilk fills the bill.

Teaching disregard and disrespect for life, in addition to their poor parenting...the consciences of these parents are in need of a major overhaul.

Huh????

It takes a vilage..

here's abetter idea. offer a 5k dollar reward for the arrest of the ahole people that breed rabbits to sell them

Let me twy twy again. Mayor Elmer Fudd introduced a referendum to exterminate all 20 wabbits if it was the wast thing I do. Huh-huh-huh-huh.". Was dat OK Newsday? Ooohh,, wabbits!

Not unusual. I've rescued several rabbits who were dumped on my road in Manorville. People get them for their children for Easter and then don't want to take care of them. They stick them in the woods thinking they can survive. If you can't take care of them, don't buy them!!

I agree its so sad they should give them away not throw them away.

I am one of the volunteers at LI Rabbit Rescue Group, and have read all of the posts so far. I agree with all except for the one about Elmer Fudd and exterminating rabbits - there is obviously something missing there.

If anyone wants to help (really help, not cause problems, please - we have enough problems on our plate!) go to www.longislandrabbitrescue.org and see how you can help.

There are more than 50 rabbits currently in our care and in need of good homes. We adopt them out only once they are healthy and spayed/neutered.

We can help educate on proper bunny care (whether you adopt from us or not - better for the bunny that the owner knows how to properly care for him/her).

Many people who call us to relinquish a bunny do so because it's "too much work". They don't realize bunnies can be litter trained, are incredibly social (more like a dog that uses a litter box...), and sweet, wonderful animals. 99% of the time, "negative behaviors" have more to do with the owner's improper care than the bunny being a "bad bunny".

If you can help, please contact us.

This guy is a real pos....unreal that he would do this to these poor defenseless animals. I hope they catch him.

I can deal with people gettin drunk an runnin people over, and people shootin other people for no reason, and gang bangin and all that, but when you hurt little cute wabbits, the gloves are off. Let find this person and cut his pee pee off.
