A Brooklyn bunny hoarder has been busted for keeping more than 170 abused rabbits locked inside her home, cops and sources said Thursday.
“It was a bunny house of horrors,” said Allie Feldman, 34, the director of NY Class, which advocates for animal rights.
Dorota Trec had kept her furry friends hostage for years but in recent months, it spiraled more and more out of control, Feldman said.
Tec was charged with torturing, injuring, and not feeding her animals Wednesday after a January complaint and 75 bunnies being confiscated from her backyard during a frigid snowstorm, cops said.
Her reason for keeping the curry creatures constantly changed, Feldman said.
“Her reasoning for doing this is always different. She said, ‘I’m going to feed the rabbits to lions at the zoo,’ or ‘I’m going to start rabbit parks,’” Feldman said.
The younger rabbits were stuffed in small cages stacked on top of one another, and the older ones were kept in tall wooden hutches locked inside a shed, advocates from the agency said.
Approximately 100 more sickly rabbits were allegedly hidden in the basement.
