Yes, I'm going with the Pels 510. Now, the Humane Society of Louisiana has announced that it is sounding the alarm about a growing number of people abandoning their pet rabbits and parks. The organization works with conservation organizations in South Mississippi, along with Laura and the founders of Friends Bunny Conservation. PI gathered at Lafreniere Park in Metairie to rescue them. The group says the park is a common place for people to dump rabbits. They said they have single-handedly rescued 60 rabbits from Lafreniere Park in Jefferson Parish in recent months. They can't survive here, you know, they're domesticated. They need medical care. They need special food. There are parasites here. There's a dog here. There are all sorts of things here to attack them. You know, they're prey. Since they are animals, they cannot survive. The Jefferson SPCA has a fix. A low-cost spay/neuter program for rabbits. Vouchers for spaying and neutering are available to those who need them, and the organization would like to remind those who are abandoning their pets.

The founders of the Louisiana Humane Society and Lola and Friends Bunny Rescue of Southern Mississippi held a press conference to discuss the release and abandonment of pet rabbits in parks in Metairie, Kenner and New Orleans. Laura & Friends Rabbit Rescue and HSLA in Saucier, Mississippi, announced that more than 60 rabbits have been found in parks in both parishes. They say people buy rabbits or receive them as gifts, but realize that caring for them requires a lot of effort and money, so they release them in parks. According to HSLA and Lola and Friends Bunny Rescue, releasing a pet rabbit into a public park or field is usually a death sentence. Rabbits depend on food, water, shelter, and medical support to survive and cannot survive in the wild. These organizations urge people to find out how much a rabbit needs before keeping a pet rabbit, and if they decide to give up their pet rabbit, to give it up to a local shelter or rescue group. .
