Photos from Amber Behanna's post in East Coast Rabbit Rescue Network
Amber BehannaEast Coast Rabbit Rescue Network
Bay area Florida:
This poor bun was set loose in a residential neighborhood. Would anyone be able to take him/her in? I will cover half the cost for spay/neuter and transport can be arranged easily within Florida.

Amber BehannaI received this information 3rd hand. All I know is that it is in Tampa.
Someone contacted their friend, who knows of the rescue, saying they had this bun hopping around the neighborhood because their neighbor didn't want it anymore. So the friend contacted me.

Amber BehannaI gave her the name of the best shelters to take it to, but I was hoping someone else in the area would be looking for a bun, since the Easter dump period is about to start and the less buns at the shelters the better.

Amber BehannaI would love some help, just not from Linda Sue. I don't trust some of the people she works with and have also been lashed out on by her in the past.
Once the rabbit is caught he/she will need someplace to go, so if anyone in Florida has room please let me know

Lucy BrownleeAmber, I am sorry if Linda Sue (allegedly) lashed out at you but when it comes to saving rabbits lives she is the one to get things moving. Are you stating that Linda is responsible for what her friends do and that your disliking her is more important than saving the life of this rabbit?
You have not posted any contact information or location that could lead anyone to find this poor rabbit, each day it is out it has less chance of surviving. This is more than heartbreaking.

Amber BehannaI am not going to unblock someone who has harassed me.
I will not post the contact information as I don't want this woman to have to deal with Linda Sue.
I'm sorry that you feel that I am putting something above this rabbits safety. I am not. The last time I had spoken with Linda Sue she did not have any contacts in the area where this bun is. I am the closest person I know to the rabbit. If you know anyone else in the bay area that could help please send them my way.

Amber BehannaI do not know any reputable rescues in Florida that will work with Linda Sue. I am not alone in this.

Lucy BrownleeI did not ask you to unblock her and frankly you have a lot of nerve speaking about someone like her that helps thousands of rabbits daily. Linda works regularly with every rabbit rescue in Florida and every other State and has a good reputation so you may want to stop slandering her.
Truth said - If you genuinely cared about this rabbit you would post the location and address so the bunny can be saved!

Lucy BrownleeAmber Behanna can you Please post the address of the rabbit so someone can go rescue?
April 7 at 10:04am · Like · 1
Amber BehannaDoes anyone know anyone in Tampa that can take this rabbit? If not, I don't see how posting someone's address is going to help. An address I don't even have, as I said, I heard about this 3rd hand through her friend who I am speaking to.
I have already been told the girl thinks she can catch the bunny herself. I have offered the use of my humane traps. She does not need volunteers to go out and help catch the rabbit, she needs someone to take the bun once she does. I have given her my contact info and told her I will supply her with short term housing, litter, hay, pellets, etc.
I came here looking for a place for this bun to go to try and ease the pressure at local shelters and rescues since Easter is so fast approaching. Not to debate about Linda Sue. That is a point we will never agree on and that is OK. We are all passionate about rescuing rabbits but we are all different people and will have different views on things.
Again, this rabbit will need a place to go once he/she is caught. If anyone knows anyone in Florida that can take the rabbit please let me know.

Lucy BrownleeYes Lisa Daloia wants the rabbit.
We understand Betsy Day is going to foster the bunny why are you still posting for a place to go? The bunny needs caught asap it's life is danger every minute it is outdoors, it is a miracle the bunny is still alive.

Amber BehannaI wasn't still posting for a place for the bun to go (though I am sure everyone would be happier if he/she got adopted instead of having to go into rescue). I was defending myself. Sad that that is needed.
I understand the rabbit is in danger. They are going to catch the rabbit. The rabbit will not be left outside and forgotten about. They are working on catching it. I don't know how many more ways I can say it.
I am VERY grateful to Betsy (for this and for all of the wonderful work she and her rescue do) and will work on getting this bun to me once it is caught and then transporting him/her to wherever it needs to go.

Janet GerenAmber, Linda Sue is a shaker and a mover and personalities shouldn't even be in the equasion here. This bunny needs help and if she was involved, the bunny would not still be sitting there.
I am appalled and sickened by this slander that you are spreading about a friend who really is a friend of the animals. I am shocked and saddened to see someone in the rescue community hurting another who really does "rescue" and walks like she talks! It isn't about your own personal vendetta, this is about rescue and caring and love...

Amber BehannaThe bun is running loose and the woman who sent the message is trying to catch it. Again, this isn't about Linda Sue. This is about this rabbit. The rabbit has been offered a place to go, so this is a non issue at this point, unless you just enjoy telling me I am a bad person.
I won't work with Linda Sue because I feel the people she entrusts rabbits to are not good rabbit caretakers. I also do not like that she has gone off on both me and people I know. I am not going to put this rabbit's life in questionable hands. Period.
I am also shocked and saddened to see so much aggression in the rescue community. Just because I do not agree with one person in rabbit rescue or will not work with them, does not mean I am evil or don't have a heart.

Melissa McAvaddyAmber Behanna had a hand in rescuing and bringing me my 8 bunnies and 9 guinea pigs and our gerbil! She is a fantastic rescuer! If she opts to not work with someone she has the right to do that, please respect that right! Plus, she didn't abandon the bun in question, she's made arrangements once the bun is caught!

Ann Flagg CampbellI agree Melissa no one has to work with anyone but I don't think we need to be slandering each other or posting negative threads on our walls about other people in rescue it just makes us all seem petty and it only serves to reinforce that rescues and people involved bicker more than help. I mean Amber just stated she doesn't trust the people Linda places bunnies with and that they aren't good caretakers that is a large statement to make unless she has personally seen some issues I don't understand why it has to be said....I think we can all put our differences aside for the common good and goal..saving lives right?

Ann Flagg CampbellHey I don't "like" everyone in rescue and I have a shoot from the hip style and I know not everyone "likes" me but this isn't a popularity contest. I try and cooperate with everyone that truly helps and assists in rescuing, placement, transport, funding, etc. Unless I know there is an issue with safety or endangering a rabbit and if that is the case you can be assured I just won't post about in a group I will try and take action to correct it or I am just nothing but a gossip monger and that helps no bunny. I do however love you Janet Geren

Lucy BrownleeI appreciate anyone willing to help animals in need, I hope this bunny is caught before a predator kills it, or it gets EC or coccidia. It is pretty simple to place a trap with food in the yard so not sure what the hold up is catching this bunny.
I also agree that it was Not necessary to slander Linda Sue and if anyone knows her well knows she will most likely be addressing what was said about her on her wall.

Amber BehannaI have had first hand experience with some of the people that Linda Sue was placing bunnies with. I had bad experiences with them before and know that they did not keep their bunnies in good conditions. That is why I first stopped wanting to work with her and then was told I was a horrible person for it.
I would love to work peacefully with other rescues and rescuers, but I have my standards and they should be respected.
I can see people being friends with Linda Sue and getting offended by my statements, but they are what I believe and I stick by them. I like to give reasons behind my decisions and be upfront with people, but clearly that was a mistake here. I will be less upfront in the future as to not cause any issues.
