This is why you need a strong fascist dictator-warrior bunny to hand out the does and kill rebels. Keeps the population under control.

This happened in a small town in Idaho called Mud Lake in the late 70's.

Made national and international news when it was revealed that there were so many rabbits that they were killing them with baseball bats and golf clubs.

It ended when there was a big round-up. They chased the rabbits into a big trench and filled it with Carbon Monoxide gas.

I'm planning to move out of London in the next year. One of the things I'm looking forward to is getting a nice air rifle and a shotgun and bagging a few wood pigeons and rabbits.

Ah, I remember the Bunny Bop just like it was yesterday. Never heard of the CO gassing, although. Most of the farmers that I knew of placed chicken wire fences around their haystacks and would leave them open at night. Several hours later, they would close the gates, pick the favorite weapon (golf clubs, baseball bats, pitchforks, etc) and go to work.

I guess its just me.

I saw this when I was a tot. So, it takes place in my home town. And we are LOUSY with rabbits. And I guess I couldn't really seperate fiction from reality or something, cause that dumb ass movie TERRIFIED me !
I wouldn't even let my mom hang a Hummel picture on my wall with a cute little bunneh on it.
Perhaps I am just a moron.

When I was in Marine Corps boot camp, MCRD San Diego (Yay Fishbowl!) back in '86, the place was littered with rabbits. I remember getting warned by a DI on the way back from sickbay one day, walking through a mass of rabbits, not to harm a hair on one of those hare's heads. Needless to say, recruits didn't dare say "boo" to one of those critters, and they seemed to know they had complete run of the place.

Guess it was better than the PI recruits dealing with sandfleas (though I ended up spending 3 years stationed in Beaufort, going to NCO school on PI).

I remember someone made up a charming little song about this that played on the radio for a while:

Why is the snow
Red in Boise, Idaho?
They're killing little bunnies
Doncha know?
They say it makes
The farmers' gardens grow
Oh oh oh oh oh oh...

I have no idea why I remember that.

Night of the Lepus is the movie playing in the Oracle's house in the Matrix. I bought it on Ebay the day after the Matrix hit the theater.
