Letter: Rescue our Richmond rabbits

Dear Editor, Re: “The Rabbit Rescuers,” News, March 18. Excellent follow-up to the ongoing, glaringly unacceptable tragedy concerning defenseless abandoned rabbits in our city.

Dear Editor,

Re: “The Rabbit Rescuers,” News, March 18.

Excellent follow-up to the ongoing, glaringly unacceptable tragedy concerning defenseless abandoned rabbits in our city.

I am blessed with two very young Richmond granddaughters for whom I bought Cindy Howard’s Rabbits Rescuers book.  

One day very soon I’d like to be able to tell them that this shameful situation is indeed headed toward a happy ending. 

A terrific resource is the Richmond Animal Protection Society. 

That facility, however, is severely compromised in terms of inadequate space and physical condition.   

Coun. Linda McPhail informs that a replacement structure will be built at some point. First, such a project must successfully compete with other “priorities,” and win the battle to become a reality.    

If you agree that it’s more than high time to resolve this despicable blight in our community, let our elected officialdom know by emailing. Happy Easter to every-bunny.

Jerry Pickard
