My mission today is to get a picture of some of the bunny overlords that are taking over my neighborhood. They're cute as hell, even if they're chewing away at some tasty veggies.
What I've learned about their appearance is that some animal rights groups/bunny protectorates have been moving them out of areas that are being developed, and moving them into other neighborhoods. What frightens me is that my neighborhood is developing, too, and I've been seeing more "road kill." In addition, while we've had a coyote or two (I live in Huntington Beach), they're rarely seen. Now I see them at least a couple nights a week, usually standing in the road. Grandma saw two coyotes while taking her regular walk through our neighborhood to the wetlands. She's uncomfortable going on her own now.
While I applaud their willingness to save bunny lives, I have to question the efficacy of what they're doing (they will probably die here, too), not to mention the ecological changes as a result. The bunnies have been appearing over the last few months at an alarming rate.
But they're cute, and I'm gonna take pictures. I call the one that seems to like our front yard "Ears." They're not large ears, but they stand up perfectly straight. So cute!
