Family ‘absolutely devastated’ after Biscuit the bunny stolen at Markham Fair
Biscuit was reported missing this weekend by organizers of the Markham Fair after its owners entered it into a contest.
The McClelland family is devastated after their cherished pet bunny, Biscuit, was stolen at the Markham Fair. Biscuit, a Holland Lop rabbit, was entered into a contest and won first place, leading the family to pick him up the following Sunday night. However, Biscuit vanished, and the family learned he was stolen from his enclosure at the pet and poultry building on the evening of October 3.
Fair organizers confirmed the theft, stating Biscuit was taken from his enclosure. Volunteers and exhibitors noticed the disappearance. The McClelland family, especially 10-year-old Eliana, is heartbroken, as Biscuit was more than just a pet; he was a member of the family and her best friend. Fair officials expressed deep disappointment in the theft, emphasizing the emotional connection between the rabbit and the exhibitors who nurtured him.
The family is appealing for help, asking people to watch for online ads attempting to sell Biscuit. York Regional Police have been alerted to the case.
