Not Everyone Adores the Rabbits
The article “Senior Citizens Decry Poisoning of Rabbits,” (Oct. 20) makes it sound as if most of the Leisure World residents are in favor of the cottontail rabbits that infest our community.
However, 300 petitions represent less than 2% of our population. It’s another example of the vocal minority getting all the attention.
Several months ago we were literally overrun by rabbits. On one particular lawn you could count four of them every evening. There were another three around and about my house.
In the mornings I had to gingerly step through and around their overnight droppings to pick up my copy of The Times.
As an environmentally correct solution, I obtained Leisure World gate passes for two coyotes who appear to be correcting the problem by providing the necessary ecological balance.
