My neighbors have like 7 bunnies. At one point they had a total of 15, but (thank god)they sent a lot of them to the shelter. Anyways, they kept them in the basement for a while. Then it was the garage. Then it was the side of the house, under a tarp. And now its in the driveway, under a tarp. Half the time they forget to put the tarp on. I was over there one day when it was raining, and they didn't have the tarp over the bunnies cages! The girl there was like, "eww I hate the smell of wet bunny!" and went inside! She didn't even put the tarp on! I'm over there a lot and I've never once seen them clean the cage. Also, I've never seen them interact. My friend says she loves them, but she can't even remember how many she has, or what their names are. They keep the bunnies out on the driveway all year round. They are never brought inside, or played with. In the winter, one of the 5&7 year old boy jobs are to crak the ice and thaw the bunnies water!
In their driveway, they have a bunch of crap on top of and laying around/against the cages. I think they've got 3 or 4 cages.

So, what I'm wondering is this: is this animal creulty? I know nothing about bunnies. For all I know, they could prefer to live outside in the cold. But is it bad? Should I ask my mom to call the shelter about this? Or is it perfectly fine?
