VanCuren helped them continue cleaning and caring for the rabbits, and started posting pictures and videos on social media to alert others to help or see if they'd be willing to pick up the rabbits.

"They had no place to keep them," VanCuren said. "I've never seen two teens so stressed."

VanCuren, who has guinea pigs, brought some of her food and cage supplies to Frazier's home to help feed and separate the rabbits, she said.

Frazier said several friends and family members arrived at the home over the course of Saturday to pick up most of the rabbits. He says six remain that are waiting to be picked up as of Sunday.

"It's just one of those sad situations for mankind," VanCuren said. "I don't understand how someone can do this."

Local animal rescuer Erin Yanz, who oversees Erin's Farm in Hobart, was one of those who came to pick up rabbits from the teens. She loaded six into her vehicle to take back to the animal sanctuary.

"I had a lot of cages, so I loaded up the car and said I'd head over," Yanz said.
