A walker was left stunned when they found a family of rabbits dumped in a wheelie bin at Bestwood Country Park. The two adult rabbits and seven young rabbits were found in a bin in the car park in Bestwood Village on Sunday (October 30) at 2pm.
The RSPCA has now launched a public appeal for information. RSPCA inspector Keith Ellis, who picked the rabbits up from the walker, said: “We know times are tough at the moment for everyone but the answer is never to dump an animal - and especially not in a bin where they may never have been found.
“The RSPCA has resources to help if you are struggling to care for an animal during the cost of living crisis - including our new online hub. Family and friends can often help and people struggling can even seek advice from a local charity or vet.
