Woman Found with over 50 Rabbits

Woman Found with over 50 Rabbits: By Mallory Hoffbeck

Last year in Virginia Beach, California, on the 2100 block of Wolfsnare Road, a woman’s house was found filled with rabbits. On Thursday, her neighbors reported a putrid smell coming from her house. The county police  arrived to find that the house was filled with more than 50 rabbits. Firemen were called, and the woman was taken to the police department.

After dressing in hazmat suits, the firemen proceed to capture the animals by hand. They found that two of the rabbits were dead, and some showed signs of sickness. Animal control supervisor, Megan Conti. says “Most of the rabbits appear healthy. There are some, a few that are concerning. Like I said. we will assess those as we get them to the shelter. It’s just been more trying to contain them and remove them at this point.” The county firemen were having extreme difficulties catching the rabbits because they are so nimble.

The fire officials are unsure whether they should take condemn the house because of the smell and conditions inside of it. The police were called because the neighbors complained about the smell, so the odor is pretty extreme. This makes it likely that the house will be taken.

The woman who owned the rabbits may be brought up on animal abuse charges.The police are unsure if any charges will be pressed. but as of now none have been, and it appears as though none will be.
