Near to where i live, there's a rabbit problem. In summary, there's news coverage of the event. You'd call it what it was, an infestation. Instead we have folks crying "Save the Bunnies!"
i'm not calling for anti-lupine hit squads or folks to release the hounds on the hares, but honestly, a bit of herd thinning is probably well within order here. And yes, even if it was full of feral cats, puppies or ponies, i'd feel the same way.
Honestly, i'm betting that the "animal cruelty" is little more than nature's response to a free buffet. We get pets to teach our children about death. Looks like those lessons work for other folks kids too.

Sounds a bit like our seal hunt problems up here in the Great White North, in microcosm: the funny thing is that people get up in arms about not hurting the cute animals, but fail to understand what letting the cute animals overpopulate all to hell will do to the plants and animals that aren't as cute, one step down the food chain.
Wanna join in?
