16th April: I’m writing this with a heavy heart. I was walking my dog when a brown rabbit suddenly leapt out from a bush.
I was quite taken aback and looked around for the owner but nobody is in sight.
I tried to catch the rabbit with one hand because my other hand was busy restraining my terrier from attacking it!
As it was difficult to catch a rabbit with one hand, I promptly sent my dog home and I returned with a box to catch it again but the rabbit was fidgeting about and keeps hiding inside the bush.
I decided to take shelter from the afternoon sun at the void deck nearby while I figure out what to do next.
Just at this moment, I saw a shopping bag that was on the grass patch ‘breathing’. Upon a closer look, I discovered 2 full-grown rabbits inside!
I could not believe what I saw and my eyes glance back to the bush.
There, a movement in the bush caught my attention. Another black rabbit was under the bush with the brown rabbit!
4 abandoned rabbits left to fend for themselves in the heat with no water and exposed to dangers all around!
What makes my stomach turn was the grotesque sight of the 2 rabbits in the plastic bag. Their ears were badly torn and tattered and also heavily infested by scabies!
As this 2 rabbits were trapped and could not come out from the plastic bag, I brought them home with me first for I am worried that they will get a heatstroke.
They finished up all the water I gave them and I had to refill the dish 2 times! At the advice of the House Rabbit Society (http://www.hrss.net), I called the SPCA who came down to collect the rabbits.
One selfish act of an irresponsible owner probably costs 4 rabbits their lives! I shudder at the thought of the fate that awaits these rabbits!
What kind of moral values are we implanting in the minds of our younger generation - that precious lives should be treated with disregard or like dirt??
Having a pet is a lifelong commitment and responsibility. Its not just one day or one week but the entire lifespan of the pet, which can be up to 15 years!
The moment you have brought a pet home, it is deemed that you have undertaken all aspects of caring for it.
If your pet is sick, please send it to the vet immediately and do not expect the illness to go away by itself without any treatment!
If you cannot keep your pet anymore, please try to rehome it or send it to the SPCA. You owe them that!
Please do not abandon them in the park, they will not survive because domesticated pets cannot fend for themselves in the wild!
They may die of starvation or become food for other wild animals!
Do not do unto others what you do not want others to do unto you.
Remember, what goes round comes around. Someday, you will realize it!

those b@stards who abandoned the rabbits. how would they like it when they get sick and weak and their family abandoned them? moreover,animals are not like human beings who can ask for help..esp our pets cos we have made them domesticated,they are dependent on us...
