DISCLAIMER: BUNNIES MATTER RESCUE is run by Dave Schweiger – BUNNIES MATTER IN VEGAS TOO was run by Stacey Taylor. Before Bunnies Matter Rescue, I (Dave Schweiger) was Stacey’s first bunny volunteer and together we grew what is now called Bunnies Matter Rescue. While Stacey and I no longer rescue together, the bunny rescue videos from 2018 and earlier were from when we rescued together under BMIVT.
Education and changing the poorly written animal (bunny) laws in Las Vegas and around the country is the key to helping to solve this growing problem. We have helped change the bunny spay/neuter laws in the City of Las Vegas and Henderson. Anyone who sells a bunny after 4 months old is required to spay or neuter them before sale. If they are under 4 months old, they require a spay/neuter voucher included in the price of the bunny.
Below are links to Las Vegas dumpsite bunny rescue efforts to help raise awareness of this growing bunny problem in Las Vegas.
Thanks to all our members and volunteers who not only help the bunnies but are also helping to spread the word and raise awareness. This video in February of 2017 shows the 3 largest dumpsites in Las Vegas. ALL THREE VEGAS BUNNY DUMPSITES have since been cleared by several bunny rescue groups working together to save them all!
