PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Portland police say more than a dozen rabbits reported stolen the night before a rabbit-cooking class have been returned by bunny advocates who had been caring for them.
Members of the volunteer group Rabbit Advocates say they’re trying to buy the bunnies so they can live as pets.
Police say 18 rabbits belonging to farmer Levi Cole disappeared on Jan. 7. Cole says the theft occurred the night before he taught a class on raising, slaughtering and cooking rabbits.
Cole is an instructor for the Portland Meat Collective. He believes the theft was politically motivated. Police have no suspects.
