What kid can resist the siren song of bunny rabbits frolicking in the grass? And Desi, being the offspring of two pretty cool people, if I do so say myself, loves chasing him some rabbits. Rabbits practically beg to be chased, with their cuteness and their swiftness and their uncatchability. Why wouldn’t he?

Just before Thanksgiving, 2010, a driver spotted a Red-tailed hawk sitting on a dead rabbit in the middle of the road. She wasn’t about to leave her rabbit, and the driver figured something was wrong, so he picked her up. And to prove it, there’s The Queen. When she didn’t fly off, he stopped his car and approached her.

Rabbits were introduced to the island by guano miners, which turned the previously verdant island into a giant sand dune; almost all vegetation was wiped out. They were secure in their isolated home here until humanity came to Laysan in the 1890s. Three other endemic bird species promptly went extinct, and by 1911 as few as 11 ducks remained.

One wouldn’t tether a rabbit out to get a shot of a fox or a coyote, or is that somehow different? How do birds that are already stressed, such as many of the Snowy Owls in the south this year are, fare?

Yes, of course it is too bad that so many animals (most often rats, mice and rabbits) have to be killed. Instead of embracing these fantastic programs, a typical reaction from people within the animal rights movement is to condemn and protest the act, because animals were going to die. The logic of this is ridiculous.
