PIGEON FORGE, Tenn. (AP) _ Federal agriculture officials were looking into a miniature golf course where bunnies running loose are the main attraction.

At the urging of animal rights activists and Rep. Jimmy Quillen, R-Tenn., Department of Agriculture inspectors visited Bunnyland Mini Golf, agency spokeswoman Cindy Eck said Friday.

About 80 rabbits at the course have been found mutilated over the last two months. The Humane Society and the Tennessee Network for Animals want the surviving rabbits removed.

Rabbits run freely at Bunnyland and the course sells food to customers to feed them. The USDA could revoke the business’s license as an animal exhibitor and fine it if the rabbits are found to be victims of inhuman treatment, Eck said.

Animal rights groups put up nearly $2,000 in reward money for information on the rabbit killings, which occurred at night when the course in this East Tennessee tourist town was closed. No arrests have been made and police won’t discuss possible motives.

The rabbits were bludgeoned, partially skinned and stabbed.
