I called Animal Allies about my blog entry "Animals: You bought it, you keep it" and was referred to Wildwoods Rehabilitation. I sent an email to the organization with a reference to my blog entry.
Peggy Farr read it and thought that the rabbit was a snowshoe rabbit with its summer coat. She said it probably didn't run away because it was sick. She also wrote: "What you say about people releasing pets onto the wild is unfortunately too true and too common--we've seen rabbits, box turtles, snakes, ferrets, parakeets, cockatiels, and larger parrots, as well as many domestic ducks (rouens), a type that look like mallards but aren't, come to us in desperate condition. Their stories are heart-breaking."
