The most credible source for rabbit news in BC is
Rabbit Advocacy Group of BC
www.rabbitadvocacy.com
Rabbit Advocacy Group investigated and documented the sale of intact rabbits by
Petcetera and the SPCA over several years, exposing the hypocrisy of the SPCA
claims of animal welfare when it partnered with one of the largest sellers of
intact rabbit, sold intact rabbits itself, and when the abandoned rabbits and
their offspring became public nuisances, approved of mass slaughter of the
rabbits. RAGS's letter writing campaign, in which all facts have been carefully
documented, may be largely responsible for Petcetera announcing that it would
stop selling intact rabbits. Go to

rabbit-slaughter in Richmond and Kelowna.
