Summary
- A photo shows a man eating a rabbit carcass on a Milwaukee sidewalk.
- City officials and DNR are reviewing the concerning social media image.
- Authorities are determining if any wildlife or health regulations were violated.
A disturbing image circulating on social media has drawn the attention of Milwaukee officials. The photograph appears to capture a man eating a rabbit carcass while walking down a residential street on the city's East Side. This incident, reported to have occurred within the last several days, has raised questions regarding potential violations of health and wildlife regulations.
Milwaukee Police Captain Robert Thiel confirmed the image was forwarded to the department and that the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has been notified. While authorities are investigating to verify the authenticity of the photo, no official reports have been filed with the police. The DNR's involvement stems from the possibility of hunting violations or animal abuse, pending determination of the rabbit's origin.
The City of Milwaukee Health Department also stated awareness of the image and confirmed it is under review. Officials noted that no formal complaints or reports have been received concerning the matter. Authorities emphasize that it remains unclear if any crime occurred, as the rabbit may have been legally obtained, though the image itself is described as unsettling.
