Calvert Police Rescue Rabbits
Lusby, MD - 8/9/2012
By Press Release
On July 24 the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office Animal Control Unit received information in reference to an alleged animal cruelty complaint.
On August 8 at approximately 9:33 a.m. the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office Animal Control Unit with assistance from the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigative Team (CIT) executed a search warrant at 1309 Tongue Cove Lane in Lusby. The location is an animal rescue organization under the name of Bunny Magic. Upon arrival at the residence a practicing veterinarian out of St. Mary’s County visually checked 265 rabbits located on the property.
During her initial exam, she advised that 222 rabbits needed to be seized due to poor living conditions and these rabbits would require further medical care. The 222 rabbits had been kept inside the residence and a one car garage. The remaining 43 rabbits were left on the scene. They appeared healthy and were in a separate and clean environment. The 222 rabbits seized were transported to the Tri-County Animal Shelter (TCAS) and will be held until a final disposition can be obtained.
At this time the case is still under investigation and possible criminal charges are pending. Anyone with further information is asked to contact Lt. Steve Jones of C.I.T. at 410-535-1600, extension 2462.
