Save the Moreland Woods bunnies!

Jul 31, 2009 10:09

The Mercury News just ran a series of articles about the rabbit population in Moreland Woods. First, the rather discouraging "Who's killing the bunnies at San Jose's Easterbrook School?", then today's "Help on the way for bunnies in San Jose's Moreland Woods". As you can probably guess, it's not at all an ideal place for rabbits, since there's no grass (pretty much just dirt) and people routinely bring their dogs to the track and the field right next to the woods; many of the bunnies have been killed by cats, dogs, and BB guns, and the longer that neighbors come to see them as a nuisance, the more acceptable it may seem to kill them.

If anyone is up for fostering or adopting some of these bunnies being rescued, please do! They're also looking for donations and volunteers to help with their care. I'm struggling with whether it would be feasible to foster any of them for the next month. I hope that maybe some of you would be available to take home some of these sweet, gentle pets.

And for any potential bunny-scaring miscreants: the neighborhood watch has its eye on you! And, err, if that doesn't work, you're in for some cosmic justice.
