Brandon,
That is the most sensible thing I've ever heard from you. Perhaps a story, and take-down, about these fools is in order. More please...
ITA...but, I wouldn't eat those rabbits...I've seen bunnies over there with some nasty tumours...i mean tumors...wouldn't want savage mad at me and kick me out of the theatER for using britishisms...
Weird. I was thinking about these very bunnies the other day. The obvious answer is that they need sweaters: http://www.denimclature.com/MP3/Woodland_Park_Sweaters.mp3
I've never understood why we don't just resolve the problems of bunny or Canadian goose overpopulation by simply making it legal to catch and kill a certain number of them. There's certainly enough hungry folks out there who could use the extra protein. And if the occasional tourist gets hit by a stray bullet...well, it is tourist season, isn't it?
Better yet, let's rip out their hearts and take photos of them "wandering" around Seattle. Heartless bastards.
Where's my hasenpfeffer?
Open Woodland Park to hunting. Dogs, rabbits, gay toilet trolls, etc. All game.
Yes, yes--kill the gay toilet trolls. Because men seeking consensual sex with other men in public places deserve to die.
Look, I don't like the toilet trolls anymore than you do. In fact, I may like them less. There are certain parks that, if you're there and you're gay, you're presumed to be a toilet troll. Or seeking sex in bushes. I hate being lumped in with them.
But they're not harming anyone, they don't rape anyone, and if seeing men on the prowl for sex offends you... well, stay the hell out of Pioneer Square, the U-District, and Belltown on Friday and Saturday night. Unless, of course, we can shoot straight guys trolling for sex too.
Can you show a photo of the cute little bunnies, please? I've been watching too much '24' lately. Thanks.
Yep, eat 'em. Vetting the tumor-y ones first of course (some testing, etc.)
I suspect, however, the tender people of Seattle wouldn't go for a yearly Rabbit Hunt, so we could instead set up small, P-patch style rabbit farms around the city. Perhaps individuals could be granted a wrack of rabbits and some help building a rabbit run in their backyard to start up a small rabbit farm (--40 rabbits and a hutch, perhaps?), along with automatic membership in a cooperative rabbit abatoir.
Since we know cows are already infected with MadCow/BSE, and modern cow "production" is based on a petroleum culture anyway, we should cultivate our meat locally, now, before catastrophe strikes. And rabbit is the perfect, healthy, yet managebly small-scale option. Rabbit, the new Beef. And yeah, we'd have a cottage rabbit-sweater industry, and gloves, and jackets, and "lucky rabbit's feet" again. This could be huge.
Brendan, your Urban Hunting guide was perhaps the greatest article in the paper's history.
Kudos for calling these fucking idiots out.
And if this idiot is so concerned for the rabbits, why is he not as concerend for the rats?
Omelettes are infanticide! Beekeeping is slavery! Save the bunnies!
Thank you.
I feel the same way about the idiots who feed pigeons. Do those fucking birds look like they need help?
In your experiment, Brendan, didn't the rabbit meat taste like shit?
Rabbit is delicious, but I wouldn't eat those little fuckers. They eat too many french fries.
I see them every day, and the crowds of morons who pet and feed them, and yes, they are killing the trees. If one of those trees falls across Aurora onto your or your car or your head, they'll be killing you. God, I hate the bunnies.
I've never even noticed the trolls, gay or otherwise. Don't trolls live under bridges?
Don't forget that rabbits are great fun for dogs. Go at around dusk and let the dogs run them down. Police are known for giving a thumbs up to people with rabbit chasing dogs. Your dog will love you forever. (just be sure to pick up the shit).
besides it's duck season...
rabbit season
Rabbit meat used to be a fairly standard mainstay of the American diet, particularly in urban settings, primarily because of the small amount of space needed to maintain a hutch. An elderly friend of mine once told me that when she was growing up in Seattle, most families that could had a rabbit hutch in their back yard (or on the roof of their apartment building) and would bring home a rabbit each Monday and fatten it for a couple of weeks for Sunday diner.

then we could give the homeless full bellies AND stylish rabbit-pelt hats, the kind with little flaps over the ears! how resourceful.
Just sterilize and release them. It's simple enough.
A contribution to the large cat feeding program at the zoo would appear to be in order.
I'm a volunteer with the rescue project, and Brendan is correct that the rabbits are getting much better care than in the park. The facilities for temporary housing are more than adequate, and vet care is provided. If you have any questions or concerns, just contact the Parks Dept.
Trape them and feed them to the carnivorous animals at the zoo. Don't they have snakes? Wouldn't a bored line like to work for lunch now and then?
oops, I meant bored LION not bored LINE. I'm not even stoned.
Having horrible flashbacks of watching Watership Down as a child.
But yeah. Kill em. And kill the assholes who dump them in the park.
