Rabbits feed on the grass at the Richmond Auto Mall
Rabbitats Faces Red Tape
Today we feature a talk with Sorrelle Saidman of Rabbitats rabbit rescue. They are a volunteer-run venture that facilitates rabbit rescue by designing escape proof, predator-proof, visually appealing and gently interactive colony housing for at-risk rabbits.
Sorelle joins us to talk specifically about the rabbits at Richmond Auto Mall and the provincial government red tape that is getting in the way of them relocating the rabbits to more suitable homes.
