The RSPCA is appealing for information after three dead rabbits were found dumped in Lancaster.
The two adult rabbits and a baby rabbit were found in a pet carrier by a member of the public between Cranwell Avenue and Burrow Beck in Lancaster last Monday (April 25th).
It is thought the rabbits had been in the carrier for some time.
RSPCA Inspector, Will Lamping, said: "We don’t know at this stage if the rabbits were dead when they were dumped but it is very suspicious that they were abandoned in such a way and we are keen to find out about the circumstances of this incident.
"I am keen to find the person who owned these rabbits to find out exactly what happened and to check on the welfare of any other pets they may have.
"The dirty pet carrier was red and grey with a lot of faeces inside as though the rabbits had been in the carrier for some time before they died."
Anyone with information about who is responsible or saw anything suspicious in the area is asked to call the RSPCA appeals line on 0300 1234 999.
