The Brooklyn bunny hoarder busted for housing more than 100 rabbits at her Gowanus home likened the ASPCA, which rounded them up, to terrorists.

“Originally, I planned to negotiate with them, but America does not negotiate with terrorists,” Dorota Trec, 35, told The Post Tuesday after a Brooklyn Criminal Court appearance.

The Gowanus rabbit lady claims 27 of the 176 rabbits confiscated from her home in January have died, and 78 more have been born because of improper handling.

At the hearing, which was adjourned until July 15, Assistant District Attorney Mary Monahan told the court that NYPD Officer Jerry Gallante had stopped by Trec’s home on June 24 and found more rabbits.

Trec admitted she’s still harboring about 10 rabbits, even though she was arrested on animal-cruelty charges in March.
