Bunny Rabbits are Taking over Las Vegas! | |

(OP) User ID: 73894253 United States 02/03/2017 08:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The yards, parks and lots of Vegas are home to thousands of feral rabbits. Known as “bunny dump sites” to the legions of volunteers that care for their residents, they’re strange places, more tragic than adorable, where the human heart clashes with the limited resources of the state. Released by overwhelmed pet-owners and left to breed, the rabbits now overwhelm any attempt at government control, digging up public property, chewing on pipes, and ending up dead in the sewers. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 69784129 Turkey 02/03/2017 08:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Animal Control needs to stop catching stray dogs for awhile until the rabbit population gets under control. And aren't there any coyotes and foxes in that city? They need to let them be for awhile and let nature take its course. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 62503269 I know for a fact that LV has plenty of homeless people who would love some fresh meet. |

User ID: 72031485 United States 02/03/2017 08:55 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Bunnies are adorable, we have had a few as pets. Yet they are "prey" animals-- how ever you want to look at what that means, it is simply true. Prey animals require predators to stay at a reasonable balance. In a world with limited resources it would seem absurd to spend vast amounts of resources to spay and neuter RABBITS??? Rabbits are useful as food and their fur-- chickens and fish are not as "cute" -- still, when people are hungry. a baby bunny I hand fed last Summer and released back into the wild.

If they don't stop this, it will be wall to wall rabbits within a few years. Quoting: Otter [link to www.atlasobscura.com] No coyotes in Las Vegas area? |

It's the out-of-control replication (sound familiar?) of human development that is partially to blame. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 63090322 No. These are feral pet rabbits. Likely descended from EUROPEAN RABBITS which unlike American cottontail live in COLONIES and MAKE MASSIVE WARRENS - they are the sort that took over Australia. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 60967062 Falconeering expo's and conventions several times a year. Have contests...Well yes...Inform residents to put kitty up for the weekend during the event. Stupid, yes. I think most don't know about this. It's an incubator waiting to burst open. They say if you go to the area there will be a few running around but if you put out lettuce etc. THOUSANDS TURN UP! (They are still being treated like pets). |
