NYC and the five boroughs just added rabbits to their list of illegal animals. If you currently own a rabbit, you are fine. The reason for my posting is that after 23 years in Brooklyn, NY I have never seen a rabbit in the streets. Tonight, I spent over an over an hour cornering someones pet rabbit to get him to a good home. (this was a brutal process) PLEASE do not release your pets into the streets. Take them to the nearest shelter. It is late now but I will try to get a name and number for anyone who wishes to release their animal to a shelter.
