Thousands of Feral Rabbits Plague Canadian Campus

Montreal Gazette: There’s bad blood on the bunny front at the University of Victoria.





As the university struggles with the question of what to do with between 1,500 and 2,000 feral rabbits — which are chewing and digging their way through the campus grounds — emotions are running high, fuelled by accusations of misinformation from both sides.





Leaders of the protect-the-bunnies movement claim the university is secretly killing rabbits at night and that there are “poison boxes” on the grounds. Bunny supporters claim that officials have only paid lip-service to trap and sterilize programs as they always regarded a massive slaughter as the final solution.
