"The BC SPCA encourages municipalities to enact bylaws that prevent the selling or adoption of unsterilized rabbits."
October 1/08: Who sells intact rabbits?
The SPCA does. We just phoned the Trail SPCA and they are selling intact rabbits for $20 plus tax. So does the SPCA's business partner, Petcetera.
Rabbits, or their offspring, being killed by pest control companies, are almost certainly those sold by SPCAs and pet stores like Petcetera, as very few people buy rabbits from breeders.
The outraged public is shooting the messenger.
