And one amazing resident.
A while ago I received a message from Arnaaz Camay, a resident in Hurlingham Manor. She was very concerned for the feral / stray bunnies in her area. She was desperately looking for help in order to offer them a better life. Unfortunately as usual I have no way to rescue all the bunnies out on the streets ๐ข. There is nothing Iโd like more than to have a property where I can take all the bunnies and provide them with a beautiful safe haven, until then we do the best we can with very limited resources. We explained that the best solution is to catch, sterilise and return them.
For the first 3 Sunday afternoons of May we were walking the streets of Hurlingham looking for bunnies. They are spread all over the suburb, but we have managed to catch 30 and sterilise 26 to date, 80% sponsored by Arnaaz (amazing), with some help from other residents.
It was a refreshing change to be welcomed by all residents very grateful for what we are doing and most very caring towards the bunnies. Some who would prefer if they moved out (to save their plants ๐ซข), but none of those horrible nasty people who hate them and just want them gone.
Sadly we also found some very young babies who seemed to have lost their mom. They were born in a compost heap, they were so dirty and so little. We tried really hard to save them, but just couldnโt get them strong. We also rescued the gorgeous wooly baby (looking for a home, with a friend). And as usual we found two dumped pet bunnies. Little brother & sister white buns, left in a park to fend for themselves ๐ข. Also looking for a home.
It will take some time to get all the bunnies sterilised. Itโs challenging as there are other areas waiting for help. This past Sunday we were in Krugersdorp, coming Sunday weโll be in Brakpan, Sunday thereafter Kyalami, itโs really difficult to manage the demand, but we wonโt give up. We have to stop the breeding in order to stop the suffering.
If you would like to volunteer to help catch the bunnies, please comment on the post.
