Responders were unable to save seven baby rabbits discovered abandoned at a roadside location in the Seletar area, despite immediate rescue attempts. The young animals did not survive the incident, authorities said.
The discovery prompted a wider recovery operation at the site, which resulted in the retrieval of 16 adult rabbits. All of the adult animals are currently in stable condition, according to updates on their welfare.
The circumstances surrounding the abandonment remain unclear. Animal welfare officials have not disclosed further details about the incident or the origins of the rabbits found at the location.
The case highlights ongoing concerns about animal abandonment in residential areas across Singapore. Authorities continue to encourage residents to contact animal welfare organizations rather than abandon pets.
