Dear Editor,
After reading the recent front page article in our Richmond News regarding the ever growing rabbit population and all other problems it entails, I urge our mayor and councillors to take a serious look at this situation and act accordingly and responsibly.
The lives of these vulnerable creatures as well as the properties of Richmond tax payers are at stake and must be protected from harm and/or damages. These factors must be taken into consideration and acted upon quickly and efficiently.
I am appalled by the lack of interest, support and total disregard from our elected officials regarding this matter.
No one is asking for a hand out. To solve this issue, Richmond needs a rental property to be used as a sanctuary in order to house the abundance of rabbits taking shelter in residential areas. Once a suitable property is allocated, this issue will be handled humanly, diligently and responsibly by rescue operators, volunteers, through fundraising and private donations from concerned and compassionate citizens.
Elected officials: We need your collaboration, your voice, your help.
Louise Lafond
RICHMOND
