Abandoned pet rabbits found dead on Manchester footpath after women seen 'pushing shopping trolley'
The charity said it was 'shocked and saddened' by the discovery, which was made on Blackley Vale Fields. The animals were believed to have been part of a group of eight pet rabbits that had been abandoned, only one of which has been found alive.
The RSPCA has warned people against releasing pet rabbits into the wild - a move it described as 'cruel and irresponsible' as the animals rely on humans to house and feed them and it leaves them at risk from predators. “The rabbit who was found alive was easily handled and has been thoroughly checked over and treated for his torn ear, which could have occurred as a result of infighting with other males in the group he was being kept with. He should go on to make a full recovery and we’ll then look to rehome him.
The charity says it has seen an increase in animals coming into its care amid an increase in pet ownership and the cost of living crisis putting a strain on people’s finances.
