More than 100 rabbits were rescued in what the Bunny World Foundation [no, really, it’s an actual animal welfare group] called a likely “hoarding situation” in the Granada Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles, NBC News reports. BWF President Lejla Hadzimuratovic said the situation apparently started months ago when a man in the neighborhood saw a bunny in an alley, then noticed another a few days later. Soon, he saw a rabbit in his backyard and then another, and then the first rabbit strangely playing with a skunk in his garage. (Look, guys, it’s Los Angeles. It was Florida before Florida was Florida.)
Well, it took the guy a few months before he realized he had a big problem… and growing. When the BWF got to the property on February 24, it removed more than 70 rabbits and bunnies, including some who were pregnant and nursing. Three days later, the group was called back to the property to collect another group of thirty the homeowner found. While they were collecting those, control officers saw “multiple litters” that hid under the house and were unable to be trapped. The BWF expects to have to return to the property multiple times because… y’know… rabbits.
