Over 100 Rabbits Rescued in Tennessee

On August 20, over 100 rabbits were rescued from a home in Chattanooga, Tennessee, where they were found living in deplorable conditions after their caregiver, who had cared for them for over 30 years, requested assistance due to being overwhelmed by their growing population following a health crisis. The Humane Society of the United States and the McKamey Animal Center discovered the rabbits suffering from various ailments, including flea infestations, hair loss, and injuries from overcrowding, with several rabbits possibly pregnant. The caregiver expressed his love for the animals, stating that he recognized it was time to find them new homes. The rescued rabbits are currently being examined by veterinarians and will receive necessary medical treatment before being placed for adoption. This incident highlights the importance of recognizing when one is unable to provide adequate care for pets and seeking help. The Humane Society commended the caregiver for his responsible decision to allow the rabbits a chance at better living conditions.
