A prosecutor pleaded to a Brooklyn jury to “be the voice” of the 126 diseased and injury-ridden rabbits that were seized from the Brooklyn bunny hoarder during closing statements in her trial.

Over two weeks after the trial began for Dorota Trec, 36, who faces animal-neglect charges for keeping nearly 200 rabbits in squalid conditions in Gowanus.

Brooklyn Assistant District Attorney Denise Siler told the nine-person jury, “Be the voice of the rabbits. I’m asking you to come back with a verdict of guilty.”

Trec — who is representing herself — claims the injuries occurred when officials seized the bunnies. “The rabbits at the time of the second seizure they look beat up . . . Who caused the injury, me? Not me,” she asserted.

The case has been turned over to the jury for deliberation.
