The rabbits must stay with the Humane Society while police investigate why they were left in such horrid conditions.Humane Society's Vice President of Communications, Angela Speed, said, "We have a lot of rabbits in our care and we depend on the public's support. So we're looking for things like water bottles, timothy hay, aspen bedding, toys for the rabbits, rabbit pellets. Things to help support them while they're with us, and of course monetary donations."

There were 29 rabbits found, one rabbit had already died before rescuers arrived.
