In Frameries, in the Borinage, a hundred animals locked up in a cellar were seized by several defense associations. They lived among corpses on a ground strewn with excrement. It was a home nurse who made the sad discovery.
In all, 96 Angora rabbits, two cats and a dog were kept in a cellar. And in deplorable conditions: dirt, rubbish, urine, excrement. All covering the floor and the furniture… Nine shelters were mobilized to take care of all these animals and veterinary clinics took in the rabbits whose state of health is serious.
“This intervention was very special, even traumatic”says Sophie Locatelli, vice-president of Animals in danger. “Finding a cellar with so many animals, an unbearable smell, with a vision of the apocalypse, animals everywhere crawling in the corners, clouds of flies rising from there, this indescribable filth.”

Some animals unfortunately did not survive in these extreme conditions of detention, the members of the associations discovered the bodies of day-old rabbits and the corpse of a rabbit stuck in a grid. “His head was on one side and his body on the other, this poor animal had to try to struggle to get free for a long time and he died of suffocation before we arrived”, describes Sophie Locatelli still in shock. “We also found pieces of rabbit on the right and on the left…”
“Completely outdated”
This seizure occurs in a complicated context: the refuge is completely saturated…
A report has been drawn up, the owner has made a voluntary abandonment, so she should not be prosecuted. She said she was “completely overwhelmed by the situation”.
