I don't think returning them to the wild after being in captivity all these years is acceptable. Also, why not take the rabbit and find a good home for him? He deserves good care as well. Maybe you could find a rabbit/small animal rescue for him.Ok I'm officially pissed now. If they are Eastern Box Turtles (which they appear to be) that were wild caught, I have a mountain house that is far from the beaten path of idiots like these and if I do acquire them, they will be going back to the wild. I need to find someone to take the rabbit though. I'll send out some feelers and keep you all posted.
