The theft has been reported to Northumbria police but there have still been no updates on Snowy.
Rabbits require companionship, and the separation of the two sisters is one of the main concerns for staff at Ouseburn farm.
Rabbits require companionship, and the separation of the two sisters is one of the main concerns for staff at Ouseburn farm.
Staff kept Lola in the office with them and gave her treats on Monday, after they found out about the theft.
Katy Bates, a farm manager, described this action to BBC Radio Newcastle as a 'violation', stating that animals recognize workers, and for a stranger to come in “and just take her, feels a bit of a violation”.
Katy's concern goes beyond Snowy, as she also expresses how Snowy has been taken away from the thousands of visitors that they have.
She also makes an emphasis on how this will affect the adults with disabilities that attend workshops on the farm, who will be “incredibly upset” when Snowy is no longer there. Ouseburn Farm is a registered charity that works to take care of animals and work with vulnerable adults. Katy Bates said that taking Snowy will impact the adults with disabilities who regularly visit when they realise she is not there.
...if she is returned to the farm safely no questions will be asked"...
This theft is one that is affecting many people. Kate just wants Snowy to be back. She even stated that “if she is returned to the farm safely there will be no questions asked”, giving the thieves the opportunity to return Snowy to Ouseburn Farm without consequence.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Northumbria Police or Ouseburn Farm directly.
