Rabbits in the city

... explaining yourself to some angry, hemp wearing, rabbit feeding, latte sipping, hybrid driving, smelly hippie and his hairy legged GF with their video camera.

You forgot to include sandal loving, fruit-juice drinking, and thin chested.

Finally got around to checking. From three different sources: "these rabbits aren't indigenous and as pests, feel free to eat as many as you want. Bunny huggers don't have anything on you." I'm not planning on just smashing bunnies with a brick in the middle of a field, but it's a good thing to know. More updates on the way.

I think that may be in order Never thought I'd have occasion to use a snare like that!

Hopefully there are no poodles or yorkies that run off-leash there. Could get messy.

Had a man in Calgary who was quite sick for some time, it was difficlut trying to track down the cause of his chronic headaches, nausea, other gastrointestinal symptoms....turns out he was eating the rabbits that run free in the city. Due to pesticides and fertilizers used by the city and private homeowners, the bunnies were quite toxic, and in turn ended up poisoning him. No BS. There are a ton of them running loose this year.

Y'know, that's a really good point. Pesticides, fertilizers, herbicides, mosquito control sprays.... There can't really be any "clean" vegetation in an urban environment for a rabbit, squirrel or whatever to eat. Something to keep in mind for anyone who's urban disaster relief/ survival plan includes eating the critters that run free on the city streets and parks....

rabbits in the city

I grew up in Seattle with a fellow that would catch them wild in a very large park/zoo. He would not harm those rabits but would keep them in rabbits hutches and breed them. His family probably had 6-8 breeding pairs and raise the offspring; at about 6 weeks or so, his family would then harvest and freeze them. after 2-3 litters he would return the "wild" ones and get new ones. As a city kid then, I thought it was kinda weird, but now it seems Ok.
