180 Rabbits seized in Watseka, IL

We may help with this case.  These are stories from a Fox News station in the Chicago area.  The rabbits were seized in a town south of Chicago.  Many have syphilis, not snuffles as the breeder stated (though he called it sniffles).  Some of the video is a little disturbing, but not over the top.  KNH, there are gray dwarf bunnies... be careful if you watch it.
