Authorities are investigating the abandonment of 23 rabbits discovered at a roadside location in Seletar, with four of the animals having died since their discovery. The National Parks Board (NParks) is leading inquiries into the incident as part of efforts to determine the circumstances surrounding the abandonment and identify those involved.
Of the rabbits recovered from the scene, 19 animals are currently receiving care and attention. The deaths of the four rabbits have raised concerns about the welfare conditions the animals faced prior to and following their abandonment.
NParks has not disclosed further details regarding the timeline of the discovery, the condition in which the rabbits were found, or specific leads in the investigation. The case highlights ongoing concerns about animal abandonment in Singapore, which can result in significant animal welfare issues and potential legal consequences for those responsible.
Members of the public with information regarding the incident have been urged to contact NParks. Animal abandonment is taken seriously by authorities, and those found guilty of such offences can face penalties under Singapore's animal protection laws.
