Vegas Bunny News
News stories, media coverage, and rescue efforts that have helped raise awareness of Las Vegas's rabbit dumping crisis.
Note: Bunnies Matter Rescue is run by Dave Schweiger. "Bunnies Matter in Vegas Too" was run by Stacey Taylor. Before Bunnies Matter Rescue, Dave was Stacey's first bunny volunteer and together they grew what is now called Bunnies Matter Rescue. While Stacey and Dave no longer rescue together, the bunny rescue videos from 2018 and earlier were from when they rescued together under BMIVT.
Education and changing the poorly written animal (bunny) laws in Las Vegas and around the country are the keys to solving this growing problem. We 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.
