22 dead rabbits dumped on neighborhood driveways

WPDWICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Wichita police say someone deposited 22 dead rabbits on individual driveways in a neighborhood on the city’s east side, but they don’t know much else about the incident.  Police spokesman Lieutenant James Espinoza told The Wichita Eagle it looked like the rabbits were thrown onto the driveways, rather than strategically positioned.

He said the rabbits looked like they had been shot with more than a pellet gun.

Officers think the incident happened early Wednesday morning, and that the rabbits were wild. Espinoza says he hasn’t seen any cases like it.

He says Wichita Animal Control is in charge of investigating the incident, but the lieutenant who oversees animal control was out of the office Wednesday.
