University will kill bunnies March 1, despite good rescue effort

Help us
reach our signature goal before the killling begins again March 1st,
2011. The Battle of the UVic bunnies is not over. After volunteers
successfully rescued the majority of the abandoned pets (Nearly 900
rabbits!!) to sanctuaries, the University of Victoria, British Columbia,
Canada recently announced plans to kill any abandoned pet rabbits that
they find on the campus after March 1. Volunteers, under the TRACS
umbrella, have delivered hundreds of rabbits to the Wild Rose Rescue
Ranch in Texas. All spays and neuters are being paid for by FurBearer
Defenders!!
In order to save the rabbits and move them to their
new home sanctuary, a government wildlife permit is required. Our
Wildlife Permit to move the rabbits expires on March 31, 2011. We have
asked for it to be extended, as the University says the killing of
rabbits will resume March 1, 2011. Prior to government approval of the
permit, the university killed over 100 innocent bunnies in May of
2010. By signing this petition, you are showing your support for the
continuation of the rabbit rescue, and sending a message to UVic and the
local municipal governments that killing abandoned pets and their
offspring is unacceptable and inhumane. By signing this petition, you
also support the municipalities changing their bylaws to stop the sale
of unsterilized rabbits and to strengthen and enforce the penalties for
dumping unwanted rabbits. You can further help the UVic bunnies, by
donating to help with transportation, ongoing care, and food costs of
these adorable innocent creatures: http://www.tracs-bc.ca/uvicbun.html (tax-deductible donation in Canada), TRACS for Texas-bound Bunnies (on Facebook), http://wildroserescueranch.com/
