News 9-28-17 Security camera to help police ID rabbit thieves https://www.nyoooz.com/news/chennai/797219/security-camera-to-help-police-id-rabbit-thieves/ Summary: "The two thieves took some time to select fully-grown rabbits , the largest in the enclosure," the officer said. "There may have been someone else involved who sent the juveniles to steal the animals and took them from the thieves. "The culprits walked into the research unit and pulled the rabbits out of their unlocked enclosures," an investigating officer said. "After the research assistant reported that the rabbits were missing, the head of the institution, Prof H Gopi, lodged a complaint with the Guduvancherry police. "They may have been involved in similar thefts earlier, perhaps the stealing of pet animals whose owners did not contact police. Police said a security camera near the enclosure had captured two juveniles as they stealthily filched 11 Russian Chinchilla rabbits and five New Zealand white rabbits from the research lab. Midwest BunFest: Rabbit fundraiser keeps growing http://www.thisweeknews.com/news/20170918/midwest-bunfest-rabbit-fundraiser-keeps-growing Midwest BunFest has found a home. The annual event for a nonprofit organization that seeks to find homes for abandoned pet rabbits will return Oct. 14 to the Northland Performing Arts Center, 4411 Tamarack Blvd. Midwest BunFest hopped from venue to venue for a while, but Ohio House Rabbit Rescue founder Beverly May said she’s pleased to see the event, which is vital to the organization’s survival, has hit on the perfect location. “Our biggest fundraiser is Midwest BunFest,” said May, whose organization is headquartered at 5485 N. High St. in Clintonville. She said the Northland Performing Arts Center probably is the permanent home for the annual celebration of all things rabbit. “They’ve just got the manpower to make it happen,” May said. “We’re very thrilled that we can be stationary for quite a few years.” Kent Stuckey, Northland Performing Arts Center board chairman, said the nonprofit is grateful to organizations such as Ohio House Rabbit Rescue for helping to pay for operating expenses at the building that is home to Vaud-Villities and Imagine Productions. “The center was founded with a mission to, while serving primarily central Ohio community arts organizations, to also be a community center,” Stuckey said. “We’ve got many community organizations that are dependent upon the facility for their operations, their meetings, their big, major events.” Along with fundraising efforts like a bowling event and an annual road race, Midwest BunFest helps raise awareness about Ohio House Rabbit Rescue, said May, who founded the organization in 2009. Ohio House Rabbit Rescue provides shelter for pet bunnies given up by their owners, as well as offering services to rabbit owners. This year’s Midwest BunFest will continue traditions set in previous years, said Ohio House Rabbit Rescue volunteer Adrienne Lang of Powell. “I think we’re kind of a well-oiled machine now,” she said. “We know what works and what doesn’t.” BunFest topped 1,000 in attendance for the first time last year, Lang said, and 250 bunnies also were on hand. “The growth we’ve seen in the past few years is incredible,” said Shanleigh Brown, marketing coordinator for Midwest BunFest. “It’s great people-watching and you get to see the bunnies.” Rosie Wendt of Upper Arlington, another rescue organization volunteer, said she attended the first Midwest BunFest shortly after getting her pet rabbit in 2013. “It was good to hear people who know much more than I did, and probably still more than I do, talk about what typical behaviors should be,” Wendt said. The Northland Performing Arts Center provides space to community organizations based on their ability to pay rent, Stuckey said. “There are a number of recurring events that we really depend on that are particularly productive so we need to prioritize the recurring events that help us keep the doors open and keep the lights on,” he said. “I would emphasize from a business perspective, this is only to meet operating needs. We don’t need to pay a mortgage. We don’t need to pay a lease. We’re just striving to cover operating costs. Essentially, this is a community asset.” The Midwest BunFest will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is $6 for adults, $3 for children younger than 12. Children younger than 5 are admitted free.   Pet events: Haunted trail, goat yoga and wine and rabbits http://www.post-gazette.com/pets/2017/09/22/Pet-Events-Haunted-Trail-Goat-Yoga-and-Wine-and-Rabbits/stories/201709230006 Wine and Rabbits Meet rescue rabbits looking for a home and enjoy wine, cheese and fruit from 6-10 p.m. Sept. 30 at The Pump House, 880 E.

Bini, the Holland Lop rabbit, claimed the Guinness World Record for most basketball slam dunks in one minute by a rabbit by dropping a tiny ball through a miniature hoop seven times within the time limit. "Having Bini become part of the Guinness World Records family is an incredible feeling, especially since I used to read the annual books when I was a kid," owner Shai Asor said. Asor said he passed his love of basketball onto the 5-year-old rabbit after watching Bini repeatedly push a ball into a box. He then realized he could train Bini to place the ball in a hoop and helped the rabbit practice his dunks every night before bed. In addition to his athletic talent, Asor said Bini is a talented painter that can also style hair.   Rabbit breeders urged to hop online for welfare survey Anonymous survey from the universities of Nottingham and Winchester aims to establish the methods used to care for the UK's 1.5 million pet rabbits. https://www.vettimes.co.uk/news/rabbit-breeders-urged-to-hop-online-for-welfare-survey/ The Rabbit Breeder Project aims to shed light on how the lagomorphs are bred for sale into the UK pet trade. ‘Keen to know more’ Launched by researchers from The University of Nottingham School’s vet school and the University of Winchester, the project aims to paint a picture of animal welfare in the UK rabbit breeding industry by asking breeders to fill in an anonymous questionnaire regarding the methods they use. Nottingham vet school master’s degree student and project lead Emma Gurney said: “I have a personal interest in this subject as I love rabbits and have four of my own at home. They are increasingly popular as pets, particularly with the new trend of house rabbits that can even be trained to use litter trays. “We are very keen to know more about the extent of breeding for sale in the UK as it is pretty unregulated.” Question time The survey asks breeders basic questions such as: the numbers of breeding rabbits they look after how many ‘does’ and ‘bucks’ they keep what daily feeding routines are how many rabbits – and what breeds – they breed and sell the type of housing environments they are kept in No regulation According to PDSA, rabbits are the third most popular pet in the country, with an estimated population of 1.5 million rabbits, yet very little is known about how they are bred for sale into the pet trade. Zoologist and supervisor on the project Naomi Harvey said: “There are laws about the breeding and housing conditions of laboratory rabbits in scientific research, but our investigation so far has found no legislative guidelines or regulation in rabbit breeding for the pet industry.” The online questionnaire will be available until 31 January, with the project results submitted to Royal Society Open Science.   Frightened Rabbit have released a new video for ‘Roadless’ Posted On September 22, 2017 Words: Sam Taylor http://www.upsetmagazine.com/news/frightened-rabbit-released-new-video-roadless/ Last week, Frightened Rabbit surprise-dropped a new EP called ‘Recorded Songs’ – and today they’ve shared a video for one of the tracks. ‘Roadless’ features on the new three-track effort alongside a duet with Julien Baker called ‘How It Gets In’, and fellow new song ‘Rained On’. Scott Hutchison explains: “We’re proud to present the video for ‘Roadless’ to you all today. For the film we teamed up with one of Scotland’s most talented young animators, Ross Hogg. Ross has managed to unlock a layer of beauty with this, painstakingly etching into found footage to create a delicate and poignant animated film. We hope you enjoy watching and listening.” The EP follows on from latest album ‘Painting Of A Panic Attack’, released just last year, and a standalone track called ‘Fields of Wheat’ which they (unsurprisingly) released around the time of the general election. Stanislaus State Announces Rare Rabbit Joins National Geographic Photo Ark of Endangered Species http://goldrushcam.com/sierrasuntimes/index.php/news/local-news/11299-stanislaus-state-announces-rare-rabbit-joins-national-geographic-photo-ark-of-endangered-species A tiny cottontail on the edge of extinction has gained a foothold on forever, thanks to the Endangered Species Recovery Program (ESRP) of Stanislaus State and the National Geographic Photo Ark project. The riparian brush rabbit, whose numbers had dwindled to perhaps a few dozen, has been spotted worldwide since Sept. 7 on a National Geographic video post that has received more than 1 million views on Instagram. Photographer Joel Sartore’s images of the light gray bunny, with its distinctive pouchy cheeks, have joined 7,000 species captured for posterity. Sartore founded the Photo Ark so “that people will look these creatures in the eyes, and be inspired to care, while there is still time.” More than an effort to document the planet’s biodiversity, he and National Geographic seek to spur innovative efforts to save threatened species and raise funds for conservation, including through the #SaveTogether campaign. The suddenly famous brush bunny, tagged #0956 after the photo shoot, modeled for Sartore after being coaxed from underbrush on a scorching summer weekend by Patrick Kelly, ESRP coordinator and zoology professor, and Stan State students Celia Tarcha and Rachael Devaughn. “He only weighs about 1 pound, and lots of other critters would like to eat him. That’s why they have the name brush rabbit. They hide out in dense brush,” Kelly noted. The little lagomorph rarely strays more than a few feet from cover. It was once common in parts of the Central Valley, but farming and suburban sprawl reduced its habitat, and predators, including feral cats, decimated its numbers. In cooperation with private land owners and state and federal agencies, Stan State’s Endangered Species Recovery Program successfully bred captive rabbits from 2001 to 2013 and reintroduced those furry families into the wild. Today their descendants live in growing colonies on San Joaquin River National Wildlife Refuge and conservation partner lands, including the Faith Ranch. The effort got a helping hand from the largest contiguous riparian habitat restoration program in California, which introduced thickets of willow, wild rose and blackberry favored by the diminutive mammal. “When I was a small child reading National Geographic at my granduncle’s house in Galway City in the west of Ireland, I never dreamed that someday I would be working with a National Geographic photographer on a project,” Kelly said. Now he looks forward to doing so again. “ESRP biologists and students have worked to save many species over the past 25 years. I am hoping that Joel Sartore will return to California in the not-too-distant future to photograph some of our other threatened and endangered species: the riparian woodrat, San Joaquin kit fox, San Joaquin kangaroo rat, Mohave ground squirrel, blunt-nosed leopard lizard and many more,” Kelly said. “We need all the help we can get. As Joel says, we need people ‘to look these creatures in the eyes, to be inspired to care, while there is still time.’ ”     © Copyrighted
