SINGAPORE – An almost 2½-week search for

an abandoned and missing

rabbit in the Zhenghua Nature Park area

has come to an end.

The brown-and-white rabbit was found at the park in early January and is currently with the National Parks Board (NParks), according to a Facebook post on Jan 21 by animal welfare group Bunny Wonderland, which led the search.

On Jan 4, the group said it had received reports about three abandoned rabbits seen in the area. While two of the rabbits were found within four days, the remaining rabbit had eluded the search team.

“When we were there last week, an uncle shared that a uniformed guy took away a rabbit,” the Jan 21 post said, adding that the date and time lined up with the rescue of the first two rabbits.

The marks the eighth rescue in

a string of cases of

abandoned rabbits in the Zhenghua park area

in recent weeks. The other rabbits were rescued by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, a resident who lives nearby and Bunny Wonderland.

According to the post, NParks contacted Bunny Wonderland to ask if it would be interested in helping to rehome the newly rescued rabbit.

Bunny Wonderland said it has arranged to pick up that rabbit from NParks on Jan 22 and will be taking it to be checked by a vet.

“What a relief. Thank you to all who participated in this rescue effort! We got all the rabbits that were abandoned,” Bunny Wonderland said.
