Early Sunday morning a highly trained Immigration Enforcement Team and crack officers from Strathclyde Police, wearing body armour and using a battering ram, dawn raided the home of a Mr Bugs Bunny in Knightswood where he had been living with a family from Azerbaijan.

Fortunately the family were not home at the time - out visiting friends.

However, Mr Bunny, the children's rabbit, was not so fortunate and has been detained by the bunny loving Immigration officials. After breaking down the door of the family's flat, the Police and Home Office officials took the rabbit away for 'animal welfare' reasons. We believe the bunny was not allowed to contact anyone before being taken away..

(Shame they don't have the same compassion for humans...Or maybe they were just desperate to take some-one, anything...)

Let bugs bunny go!
This rabbit was born in Scotland and has made a strong connection with the community in Knightswood - he has settled down and tried to make a safe home in his hutch in the children's bedroom. We believe Mr Bunny has many friends and relatives living here in safety in Scotland. In fact we think he has never left the country - not even to visit relatives living south of the border in England.

The whereabouts of Bugs is currently unknown. If any one has any information - please contact us at the address below. We are urgently trying to find a lawyer with expertise in both immigration and animal welfare law. If you can help please contact us.

Urgent Action
Please fax Liam Byrne - Home Office minister demanding he releases Bugs Bunny - born in Scotland with Scottish parents
0207 035 4745

Please contact the Scottish Society for the Protection of Animals and ask them to take urgent action to stop the deportation of this poor creature who has lived in Scotland for all of his young life.

Many thanks
