AND THE MEEK SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH



No I’m not going biblical, although I do find it an interesting book to read. I saw this headline the other day and thought that we might be at the time the meek were making their claim for dominance.

 Bunnies attack at Denver Airport


In turns out that the little fellows were hiding under the cars in the parking lots at the Denver airport to keep warm. Since there weren’t a lot of gardens out there they were dinning on the insulation wrappings of the wires of the car engines. A: Not safe or nutritious for the bunnies, and B: Not good for the cars which were shorting out. It seemed from the story that he bunnies were not as welcome as they would have been for presents on Easter morning.
The authorities are trying a number of ways to discourage the little fellows. They are installing better fences and building perches for predator hawks and eagles. I’m sure we can all see the headlines this summer.

Some enterprising souls got the bright idea of coating the wires with fox or coyote urine. It’s supposed to make the bunnies lose their appetite for wire insulation. Of course that brings to mind the next set of headlines.

Still it all makes for better reading than “Drive by shootings” or “Drone attacks on Speeders.”
