In light of what I have just read on another site about the sick people who are getting kicks out of harming animals, I felt it right to put a post here....
If you own an animal which is kept outside please make sure the hutch is secure. There have been numerous reports about sick individuals opening hutches and stealing or mutilating the animals they find inside.
One small girl went out to feed her bunnies one morning and found that some sick b*****d had cut off both the rabbits heads and left the bodies under her swing. Needless to say she was totally traumatised.
It is because of events like this that I urge you to keep a padlock on the doors of your hutches or keep them in a shed with a lock on the door. It means that a determined person can still get in but most wont bother and will go in search of an easier target. Further more when I go out I never put the external light on (it lights up the hutches to passers by) and leave my living room light on so people think I'm home.
It is sad that we live in a world where we have to make provisions such as these but in those immmortal words, "better safe than sorry".
