Recent reports from Spain have angered many animal activists, after it came to light that a vegan activist from the European country had rescued 16 rabbits from a farm, only to cause the death of a hundred others in the process.
The activist, who is known as Mythical Mia online, claims to have been the victim of an angry mob attack after her “rescue” mission on an Osona farm in Catalonia.
The British woman based in Barcelona carried out her rescue operation very clumsily, according to reports, killing five pregnant rabbits and breaking the spines of several others.
Some of the rabbits taken by the woman were reportedly pregnant at the time or were lactating, leading to the forced killing of nearly a hundred bunnies who could not be cared for at this point.
Some of the rabbits that the woman abandoned in her rescue were forced to have abortions.
The woman seems proud of what she had done as well, as she was boasting on social media, claiming that she was doing this for a good cause.
Mia shared: “The police came and told us to leave peacefully, which we did. After we left the farmers chased us down the motorway at [124mph] for an hour. We tried to lose them down a side road, but they were on our tails. They blocked us into a dead end and surrounded the car with five other farmers’ cars.”
She then continued with: “We called the police, who arrived after an hour. They defused the situation and escorted us to a ‘safe place.’ We asked them to escort us home, but they refused and said we would be okay. They let us go, and 10 minutes later back on the motorway, one of their cars pulled up alongside us and shot at us.”
The young woman answered critics in a statement that read: “This is false information with no evidence to back it up. We were inside that farm for less than five minutes, and we only touched the rabbits who we rescued, who are all doing fine now, despite being very sick when rescued due to the filthy living conditions of that farm. We did not leave any babies without their mothers as we only rescued young ones. We had a professional vet on-site with us the whole time.”
Many have been trying to figure out the woman’s identity, but so far it is not known who she is precisely.
She has mostly refused to comment on the situation and has been hiding from any inquiries about the tragic incident, instead only making posts that paint her in a positive light.
This has drawn even more criticism from animal activists, who have called her out for painting them in a bad light.
One critic stated: “Rescue? It was a genocide. They did the same thing they do. They killed the offspring in the most cruel way, “rescuing their mothers.” This is not to celebrate, what they did was tremendously ignorant.”
A second person added: “She deserves everything she has got coming. You trespassed and killed over 100 rabbits. What the fuck is wrong with her?”
A third follower explained: “She fucking killed 90+ babies! She broke many adult rabbits spines during their little rescue causing them to have to be put down because of their pain and condition!yea she was trying to do some good but cause more harm to the rabbits!”
The vegan activist has turned her Instagram page private.
