(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
13 rabbits died in a backyard pen approximately 15 feet away from, 4 feet below & adjacent to recently sprayed railroad tracks.The backyard was 40 X 30 with 4 pens & a run area for the rabbits. The back yard was completely engulfed in trash, rotting apples, & fecal matter from the rabbits & dog. 3 of the rabbit pens run right along the edge of property along the tracks & are ventilated on all sides of the cages. One pen was actually stacked on top of the other pen so it was right at ballast elevation. No rabbits died in the cages closest to the tracks. The 3' X 3' pen the 13 rabbits (2 breeders & 11 babies being weaned) died in was actually farther away from the tracks & was completely engulfed in green healthy weeds that show absolutely no signs of over-spray. It is the only pen that had no ventilation on three sides. It also had a metal roof & was located in direct sunlight. We walked the neighbors property lines & there was no evidence of over-spray on those properties either. This was the only cage that the rabbits died in & every rabbit in that cage died. The owner already disposed of the bodies, but there are pictures.
