    YES it's animal curelty. Failing to provide adiquite shelter.
    Sadly that's the only thing they can get in trouble for from what you have said. But maybe if animal control came they could convince them to surrender some or all of the bunnies. It's worth a try?
    Do they even get hay?

    I know they did at one point (haha I was the one who introduced it to them) but now...? I really don't know. probably not. I know they don't get fresh fruits or veggies daily. I know thats bad for guinea pig, but for bunnies?

    That is definitely animal cruelty. Get animal control onto them as soon as you can - poor bunnies

    Yes, it's bad. Bunnies need shelter, can get very sick if they get wet without a good place to dry off ... just not a good or healthy situation for them. If she "hates the smell of a wet bunny" it's probably because the cages are not cleaned enough - as bunnies don't smell if they are clean, and rabbits prefer to be clean. So it is absolutely neglect.

    That's not even adressing the emotional needs of a bunny, the lack of socialization and interaction ...

    Animal Control doesn't care about that part usually, but neglect is abuse.

    Rabbits do not NEED human interaction especially if they live with other rabbits. Also rabbits do better in the cold than they do in the heat. Mine both live outside in a large 10 ft x 3 ft cage and are very happy. They are mother and daughter and bonded. They do not need or want my human interaction at all. lol I think what they are doing is cruelty rabbit cages should be covered with that tarp at all times. 1. for shade from the sun 2. for a barrier from the cold and 3. shelter from rain and wet.

    okay, i'll talk to my mom about it tomorrow. She's more likely to do it now, because she's gotten so fed up with carpooling: they've forgotten to come pick me up, havent called to say my friend is home sick, etc...

    I know there is an adorable bunny named Patches, one named Tuesday, and one named Coconut. They got rid of speckles, so I'm not sure what other bunnies they have. But they're all adorable.

    That's sad It is cruel to have animals and not care for them properly. I have a rabbit and when I wash him off every now and then he does not ever stink~so the smell of the rabbits must be when it is raining all over their cage where they use the bathroom?? stuff like that.

    Good Luck with helping all of them
