Help us
\nreach our signature goal before the killling begins again March 1st,
\n2011. The Battle of the UVic bunnies is not over. After volunteers
\nsuccessfully rescued the majority of the abandoned pets (Nearly 900
\nrabbits!!) to sanctuaries, the University of Victoria, British Columbia,
\n Canada recently announced plans to kill any abandoned pet rabbits that
\nthey find on the campus after March 1. Volunteers, under the TRACS
\numbrella, have delivered hundreds of rabbits to the Wild Rose Rescue
\nRanch in Texas. All spays and neuters are being paid for by FurBearer
\nDefenders!! <\/p>\n

In order to save the rabbits and move them to their
\n new home sanctuary, a government wildlife permit is required. Our
\nWildlife Permit to move the rabbits expires on March 31, 2011. We have
\nasked for it to be extended, as the University says the killing of
\nrabbits will resume March 1, 2011. Prior to government approval of the
\npermit, the university killed over 100 innocent bunnies in May of
\n2010. By signing this petition, you are showing your support for the
\ncontinuation of the rabbit rescue, and sending a message to UVic and the
\n local municipal governments that killing abandoned pets and their
\noffspring is unacceptable and inhumane. By signing this petition, you
\nalso support the municipalities changing their bylaws to stop the sale
\nof unsterilized rabbits and to strengthen and enforce the penalties for
\ndumping unwanted rabbits. You can further help the UVic bunnies, by
\ndonating to help with transportation, ongoing care, and food costs of
\nthese adorable innocent creatures: http:\/\/www.tracs-bc.ca\/uvicbun.html<\/a> (tax-deductible donation in Canada), TRACS for Texas-bound Bunnies (on Facebook), http:\/\/wildroserescueranch.com\/<\/a>
