Hey in need of a little help

[Druid Gabby]

I'm new here so forgive me if i do anything wrong but i need a bit of help.

Recently i've come across an abused Rabbit. The owners had a collar sotight around her neck she couldn't breathe and it made her teethdeformed. I cannot legally take the rabbit and Animal Control can donothing about it because in the state of Michigan they're notconsidered pets, they're wild life. This poor creature has suffered somuch, and i can do nothing. Does anyone have any ideas?




I have a rabbit of my own and it's unthinkable that anything such as this could happen toa rabbit. But it has.

Guess that would be a no, thought i'd try. Have a nice day everyone.

David,

Don't give up.? Call the cops. Go with the hard rollers like PETAand?HRS.? They'll give you a direction.? Both have websites and you cancontact them. Call the local Humane Society and the Wildlife Rehabberas they?may be able to step in.? This is Cruelty to Animals regardlessof it's a pet or not.
