Another rabbit was seen roaming around southeast Calgary with an arrow through its back on Monday.

It’s the third time this year an incident like this has happened. One rabbit was seen in the Arbour Lake community with an arrow lodged in its body in May and a small rabbit was seen in the Manchester Industrial area with an arrow through its shoulder a week ago.
