We are writing this letter to add some facts about the Santa Barbara Humane Society, which was the subject of recent article in the Independent. Our organization, Bunnies Urgently Needing Shelter (BUNS), has operated at the County Animal Shelter next door to the Humane Society for 25 years.
We are aware of criticisms that the Humane Society has not done all it could for homeless dogs and cats. However, credit should also be given where credit is due. We at BUNS are very grateful for the help that the Humane Society has provided to BUNS in making Santa Barbara County a no-kill County for rabbits.
During the past 12 months, the Humane Society has been spaying and neutering rabbits for BUNS at vastly reduced costs to BUNS. Their veterinary staff is very professional and has made every effort to be helpful to us. We are very pleased with the work they have done.
