Do you recognize these rabbits? Help solve a crime (text NSFW, photo SFW)
Passing along a request from Dolly's Dream Home to recognize these rabbits and find out who did unspeakable things to their babies. Location: the greater St. Charles, MO, area.

There are 55,000 of you here now, which means we have 55,000 chances that ONE person recognizes these rabbits.
And right now, we need the internet to do the thing it does best: know everybody’s business.
Last night, we walked deep into the woods in St. Charles looking for a dumped bunny and found something we’ll never forget. 5 Californian White bunnies - 2 adults and 3 babies - had been killed and skinned. Their bodies had been left behind and, in one case, we believe deliberately arranged.
But 3 survived.
Girly Pop was found earlier in the day and brought to our emergency veterinary partners. Later that night, our rescue team caught Glory and Grapes in the same area.
Glory is lactating. We believe the 3 deceased babies we found may have been hers.
Our 3 survivors witnessed things no animal should ever experience, but somehow they made it out of those woods alive. Barely.
Then you guys did something incredible.
Within 20 MINUTES of our original post, someone recognized their rabbitry tattoos and we identified the breeder they originally came from.
20 minutes! Never underestimate 55,000 rabbit people with Facebook accounts and a mission.
The breeder has been cooperative and is going through her records to help determine who purchased them. Unfortunately, it sounds like the records available may be pretty limited…so now we need to work backward another way.
We’re asking 55,000 people to look at these 3 faces.
Not the tattoos this time.
THEM.
We believe these rabbits were likely living somewhere around the St. Charles, Missouri area. Californians are pretty recognizable by their seal points and somebody may have seen this group before.
Maybe you’ve seen them at a friend’s house.
Maybe your neighbor had several white rabbits with dark ears and suddenly doesn’t.
Maybe someone recently mentioned getting rid of their rabbits.
Maybe you remember seeing Glory, Grapes or Girly Pop somewhere and didn’t think twice about it at the time.
This is your official permission to think about everyone you know and be a little nosy. Then send this post to your nosiest friend because, frankly, this is their moment.
Think through the people you know, then SHARE THIS POST so they can do the same. We don’t need all 55,000 of you to recognize them. We need this post to reach the ONE person who does.
Please do not publicly accuse anyone, contact people you suspect, or start your own investigation. If you recognize these rabbits or know anything that could connect them to a previous home, PM Dolly’s directly. We can get legitimate information where it needs to go.
Even the tiniest detail could matter.
Because somewhere between the rabbitry that bred them and the woods where we found them, these rabbits belonged to somebody.
And then at least 5 of them wound up skinned and dead.
Help us figure out how.
While we work on this, Glory, Grapes, and Girly Pop are resting. They’re slowly learning that the hands reaching toward them now are bringing food instead of pain.
Sound UP on the video. Listen to those crunches.
After everything these 3 survived, the sound of 3 rabbits peacefully eating may be the best sound on the internet today.
Yesterday they were running for their lives in the woods.
Today they have 55,000 people looking for answers.
3 little faces.
55,000 people.
1 person out there knows something.
Let’s find them.
