This mess is dedicated to the people who think dumping a pet bunny is no big deal...

She's living to the letter of the law - which makes her a responsible person. Now, if she'd just compromise, she'd be a socially respectable one. Big thing would be to triple check the fence so they don't get away anymore. Maybe create a one way gate so they can be lured back in.
My bonding quest with Maryann - Read about a less than easy bonding with two buns - but they did bond!

If you see the pictures of the fencing in the video and such you can see why the animals are leaving, the fence couldn't keep anything in, it's pathetic. Also, these animals were not spayed/neutered but 'altered' by vasectomy. So they are all still hormonal, meaning nasty fighting.
In the video it shows a black bunny favoring a front paw, obviously hurt.
I thought these people were supposed to be giving these rabbits a better life, not a crappier one then the last.
(Last newpaper article posted the neighbour was now letting her large black dog into the sanctuary to kill the rabbits. Though I'm just not sure what to believe anymore)

Vasectomizing a rabbit makes no sense to me. It is a more invasive surgical procedure than castration and like you said does nothing to change hormones.

It's disgusting. The bunnies are the product of people being irresponsible and now are being killed by uncompassionate people. IMO anyone who can kill animals like that are angry and full of hate. It's so hard to hear these stories and be able to do nothing.

I'm sad that the poor bunnies can't stay in their own region I wish they could just move them up north to the forest or something? I don't really get why they can't just spay/ neuter them all and then move them to the forest...

The forest is teeming with predators. The domestic rabbits would enter the food chain before their spay sutures would be healed.
