Rabbit with overgrown nails and infected eye abandoned in Bradford
The rabbit was found dumped in a cardboard box in Lister Park
A lop-eared rabbit was found in a cardboard box in Lister Park near the botanical gardens in Bradford on Thursday 8 April at around 6pm by a member of the public.
The rabbit has severely overgrown nails, an infected eye and fur loss.
RSPCA Inspector Natalie Taylor, who is now investigating, said:
“This poor rabbit was in a very poor state when found and had been abandoned in a box in a park in the cold. He was in very poor condition and clearly needed veterinary attention.
“We know that people’s circumstances can change which may mean they can no longer care for their pets but there is never an excuse to abandon an animal, especially one that is clearly so vulnerable and in need of help.
“I am now appealing for information to find out how the rabbit came to be abandoned, and see if anyone recognises this rabbit. If you have any information at all which may help our investigation please contact the inspectorate appeal line on 0300 123 8018.”
The rabbit is now being looked after by the RSPCA.
