After dogs, now other pets are being dumped at Aarey Milk Colony. Recently, three rabbits were abandoned and wildlife experts have raised concerns that pets which sometimes are carriers of dangerous diseases, might pass them on to leopards or other wild animals who could prey on them.

Local residents have been complaining that several times a month they come across abandoned dogs and other pets, which are left in the forest in the night by pet owners. As these rabbits are not a protected species, the Forest Department did not rescue them.
