BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. (WSVN) — Brevard County is grappling with a growing crisis as pet bunnies are being abandoned with injures and disabilities, leaving them to fend for themselves across the area. Local rescuers with “Space Coast Bunnies” are stepping in to provide refuge for these abandoned animals, but their resources are stretched thin, and the situation is reaching a breaking point.

Currently, around 30 dedicated individuals are taking in as many rabbits as they can, but their efforts may not be enough...
