A Monmouth County man has been charged with releasing his family's pet rabbit into the wild, a practice that animal experts fear may be repeated by others who buy bunnies, chicks or ducklings at Easter, then decide they can no longer care for such animals.
Jong Park, 51, of the Morgan ville section of Marlboro was charged with the disorderly offenses of abandonment and failure to provide proper food, water and shelter, said Victor "Buddy" Amato, chief animal cruelty officer for the Monmouth County SPCA. The charges, which carry a possible $2,000 fine, are to be heard in municipal court, Amato said.
