DEATH-ROW rabbits saved by an animal lover are desperately in need of good homes.

The pure white bunnies were ear-marked for vivisection tests last year but were saved at the eleventh hour by animal lovers.

However, Dawn Parkes, of Booker Common, who homed 28 of the rabbits last year, still has 13 of the fluffy friends which she hopes will prove to be a lucky number.

She said: "I have kept all 13 of them but they roam around my garden and have eaten everything. They are desperate for a good home of their own really.

"I am hoping to get homes which offer them not only a hutch but a home as well so they can roam around because at my house they are out from 8am to 8pm."

Around 1,200 rabbits were originally saved from the farm where they were to be sold for testing purposes.

Ms Parkes, said: "It was outrageous and the rabbits were so desperate, we had to do something."
