FARMINGVILLE, NY —The Suffolk County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) is offering a $2,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest in a rabbit abandonment in Farmingville. On Wednesday the Suffolk SPCA received a tip that five domestic rabbits were left in a diaper box in Farmingville's Greentree Park.

The park is at the corner of Atrium and Radburn lanes.

Domestic rabbits cannot survive in the wild and abandoning them is a crime, as is releasing any domestic animal into the wild.
