Bunny bylaw

District of North Vancouver bans intact bunnies.

Kim Marosevich, manager of the district’s animal shelter, told council that she receives regular requests for help from families who purchased a pet rabbit that was not the gender advertised or, in some cases, already pregnant.

“Some of these rabbits find their way to the shelter or to community-based rescue associations,” she wrote in her report. “Some are abandoned at the shelter or in a park. Our facility is at capacity as they are challenging animals to find homes for.”
