Despicable Cruel Neglect/Suffering for Profit Continues at Rural King

ENOUGH NEGLECT AND CRUELTY FROM RURAL KING  

A Plea for Help on Facebook - Saved this rabbit's life
"Stop I’m about to cry rn
Edited to add: he’s at the Benton Illinois rural king. He’s been there two weeks now".

It is not clear how long this disabled rabbit (dragging its back legs) suffered in pain and neglect before he/she was rescued.  This disabled rabbit  was being sold for profit and was easy prey for animal abusers.  Thankfully the rabbit did not fall into the hands of a person that would do harm and is now safe at a Rabbit Rescue.

THIS KIND OF NEGLECT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE
Please all your local authorities and animal control immediately when you see animals suffering from neglect in stores.  Once the animals are gone from the store, the proof is gone.  If your state does not have laws for pet stores, take action by education others.

What You Can Do?
16 states explicitly require veterinary care for sick pet store animals

Document Evidence: Take clear photos, record dates, and note specific problems (such as lack of water, severe illness, or unsafe housing). 

Contact Authorities: Report the conditions to local animal control, the local sheriff's office or police department, or regional humane societies. 

Contact Local News at the time of the cruelty

Boycott Rural King Stores
