Rabbits under Sydney Harbour Bridge being rescued!

A delightful follow up to this story about the abandoned pet rabbits under the Sydney Harbour Bridge with two wonderful girls trying to gain the attention and compassion of authorities to their plight.  They succeeded!

Two groups working together to save these bunnies!  This is such a big step forward for Australia.  This responsible approach to the problem of the Sydney rabbits in Dawes Point Park is such a better solution than the previous one of poisoning the bunnies. 

Poisoning teaches our children not to respect life whereas this wonderful team effort between the Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority and the Sydney University Veterinary Teaching Hospital is giving our children and society a very positive message about animal welfare and the value of life. 

By treating these rabbits with respect and care their status is immediately given a boost in our culture.  There value is raised.  Congratulations to the team!  Thank you to Saul and Diane for getting this to happen!
