BENONI residents are pulling together to assist at Benoni Bunny Park.
It came to light this week that the bunnies do not only have enough food but many of them suffer from different diseases.
A group of 30 people will buy food for the animals and clean up the Bunny Park in Rynfield on Saturday.
Leighton Edward James Pearson, a CBD resident, has shown concern for the animals and created a Whatsapp group aimed at helping the park.
Pearson said the group would meet in front of the park at 2pm.

Many Kemptonians expressed their shock at the dire situation at the park since an article was published on Kempton Express’ website on Tuesday.
Lindie van Staden: “Let people pay an entrance fee to help fund the park. Also no vegs to be brought from outside, must be bought inside park at shop.”
Annemarie Redelinghuys: I am not at all surprised. When I drive past that park I can never see fresh water bowls or food being put out for them.”
Petro Lotriet: “Dammit, not another nice place with lots of good memories can go down. Surely the community can stand together to make it work. The Fruit and Veg is just up the road, surely getting a sponsorship from them won’t be too difficult. A nice little full-time fleamarket can work. Surely that will give a good monthly income.”
