A RABBIT rescue group is appealing to residents in the Zhenghua Nature Park area to keep a lookout for several abandoned bunnies.
In a Facebook post on Jan 4, Bunny Wonderland, a private animal welfare group with 20,000 followers on Facebook, said it received a report about an abandoned rabbit near Block 468 Segar Road.
It also received a report on another three abandoned rabbits sighted in the area that day.
In its latest Facebook update at about 9am on Jan 5, the group said it is still looking for two of the abandoned rabbits – one white and one brown.
Several rabbit owners have joined the search and volunteers will continue scouring the area at different times of the day, it said.
Encouraging others to help in the rescue efforts, the group said the best time to search is in the morning between 8am and 10am, and in the evening from 6pm to 10pm, when rabbits are active and looking for food.
At least six rabbits have been rescued from the Zhenghua park area in since December. Five were rescued by Bunny Wonderland and one was rescued by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
“It’s clear that this park has unfortunately become a dumping ground for unwanted pets,” Bunny Wonderland said.
The group appealed to residents in the area to stay vigilant.
“If you see a rabbit or notice anything unusual, contact us immediately so we can help.” — The Straits Times/ANN
