An animal rescue centre in Bristol has issued an urgent plea as more than 200 rabbits have been in need of rescuing in just six months.
Bristol Rabbit Rescue and Friends has said the city area has reached a 'crisis' point as there has been a surge in people who can no longer look after their pets.
The not for profit organisation provides foster care for rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and other small animals until they can be placed into permanent homes. The centre had 221 new requests to rescue rabbits in just six months since November last year and it has only been able to take in 47 of that total so far.
