Three rabbits left abandoned in Prospect Park are now safe after a Crown Heights woman says they were used as props in a photoshoot linked to Anna Delvey, the convicted fake heiress known for scamming New York’s elite.
Terry Chao and two friends rescued the bunnies, named Joaquin, Moon and Parker, from cardboard boxes earlier this week.
Chao said the rabbits were allegedly subjected to stressful and dangerous situations during the shoot, including being leashed around their fragile necks and flipped upside down, which can induce a trance-like state.
“I knew this gray bunny had been out for a long time because they were all dumped at the same time,” Chao said.
The bunnies are currently set up to be fostered but still need permanent homes.
“Parker” will be featured at an adoption event hosted by "All About Rabbit Rescue" this Sunday.
Chao hopes Delvey and the photographers involved take responsibility for what she called their reckless actions.
