The High Court rejected the family’s appeal on Monday. The judge upheld one housing association’s order that the pet rabbit be taken out of that garden. The association stated the animal threatened local biodiversity under the storm tapp‑grant aster rabbit dispute regulations. The family must comply, even though they love that rabbit.
The decision leaves the family without their companion. They said they is set to look for an alternative home for the rabbit. The case draws attention to tensions between private pets and wildlife protection rules in residential areas.
