This Petition will remain open into the year 2021

Hello!

I have decided not to close this Petition.  I would like to keep it open to gather even more signatures during the year 2021.  As I quote Rabbitats of Richmond, BC below, the growing abandoned populations of domestic rabbits is a problem that can only get worse unless we step up to the tasks of developing and implementing methods of control and rescue.

“Populations of abandoned domestic rabbits and their feral offspring are burgeoning across North America. Rabbit haters are contending with damage to their properties and gardens and rabbit lovers are traumatized witnessing the rabbits’ distress and often their demise under the wheels of cars, in the talons of hawks or the jaws of coyotes drawn to the growing city populations. The invasive rabbits in some areas are beginning to encroach on farmland, a situation that can threaten local food supplies. As a conduit for Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease, the rabbits are also threatening native species, including endangered ones. This situation can only get worse with time unless methods of control and rescue are developed and implemented in affected communities - for the benefit of the rabbits, the humans, and the environment.”
