Court blocks bunny cull on B.C. campus

Legal fur is flying over attempts by the University of Victoria to trap and cull feral rabbits munching through its Victoria, B.C., campus.

The University says it has been served with a B.C. Supreme Court injunction preventing it from killing the bunnies.

Trapping has been suspended while the university deals with the court action. A statement from the university also says it continues to work with community groups trying to find new homes for the rabbits.

A spokesman for the groups says the injunction provides some breathing room, because members believe the university planned to cull the rabbits before arrangements could be made to move them.
