Back in January, we reported that San Francisco Animal Care & Control had rescued 40 rabbits that had been placed for sale on a Craigslist ad. According to a spokesperson, the rabbits were being offered in the ad as 'Pets or Meat.'

Two months after the rescue, Bay City News reporter Jade Atkins has this update:

Over 40 rabbits that were confiscated in January from a person in San Francisco are up for adoption, according to San Francisco Animal Care and Control officials.

The bunnies were rescued on Jan. 25 after they were taken from a person who was allegedly selling them for "meat or pets" on Craigslist.

According to Animal Control officials, it is illegal to sell rabbits in San Francisco.

Many of the rabbits were housed at SaveABunny Rescue in Mill Valley and several others ended up in the care of Animal Control at 1200 15th St.

According to Animal Control officials, Pet Food Express has offered $50 gift cards to the first 30 people who adopt one of the rabbits.

Call or visit Animal Care and Control for more information on adopting a bunny.
