'At first, I thought it was a pen, and when it turned, it looked like an arrow because it was right through its back,' fifth-grader Teddy Cooper said. 'I was like, 'That thing must be in pain.''
This is not the first time this has happened in Needham. Earlier this spring, a neighbor posted on social media about another rabbit that was shot with a crossbow. That rabbit later died.
Needham police do not know if the two incidents are connected, but they are investigating along with environmental police. Rabbit hunting is legal in Massachusetts, but a special license is needed to do it. There are also nonviolent ways for gardeners to deal with rabbits, including products that can be sprayed on plants.
"You just wonder who is doing this and why. I don't want to see anybody get hurt, that was my main concern," Liz Cooper said."Whoever did it, knock it off. One animal hurt is too many," Teddy Cooper said.This article tagged under:
