Portland
police say more than a dozen rabbits reported stolen the night before a
rabbit-cooking class have been returned by bunny advocates who had been
caring for them. Members of the volunteer group Rabbit Advocates say
they’re trying to buy the bunnies so they can live as pets. Police say
18 rabbits belonging to farmer Levi Cole disappeared on January 7th.
Cole says the theft occurred the night before he taught a class on
raising, slaughtering and cooking rabbits. Cole is an instructor for the
Portland Meat Collective. He believes the theft was politically
motivated. Police have no suspects. Rabbit Advocates board member Erin
Ford says the bunnies were dumped anonymously at the home of a
volunteer. Police said 17 rabbits were picked up Friday from the
advocates’ lawyer’s office. Police are still looking for one small, gray
rabbit named Roger. Ford says she believes he’s still in foster care.
