Help us reach our signature goal before the killing begins again March 1st, 2011. The Battle of the UVic bunnies is not over. After volunteers successfully rescued the majority of the abandoned pets (Nearly 900 rabbits!!) to sanctuaries, the University of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada recently announced plans to kill any abandoned pet rabbits that they find on the campus after March 1. Volunteers, under the TRACS umbrella, have delivered hundreds of rabbits to the Wild Rose Rescue Ranch in Texas. All spays and neuters are being paid for by Furbearer Defenders!!
In order to save the rabbits and move them to their new home sanctuary, a government wildlife permit is required. Our Wildlife Permit to move the rabbits expires on March 31, 2011. We have asked for it to be extended, as the University says the killing of rabbits will resume March 1, 2011. Prior to government approval of the permit, the university killed over 100 innocent bunnies in May of 2010. By signing this petition, you are showing your support for the continuation of the rabbit rescue, and sending a message to UVic and the local municipal governments that killing abandoned pets and their offspring is unacceptable and inhumane.
