Talking $400,000 to kill 1200 Canmore Bunnies

That's what it's cost so far in 6 years. And there's still 1000 bunnies left.

I haven't actually heard how they are culling, live trapping and neutering perhaps? Nut roast anyone?

Seriously though, give me an weihrauch hw30s with 4x32 on it and a sleeve or two of jsb exacts and i'll do those last 1000 bunnies inside 2 years (gotta milk it out a bit ) and i'll do it for $200,000 k no problem. Gotta keep in mind they are breeding so there's that lol

oh and i'll need another freezer...yum

and who's paying that bill too? taxpayers must be thrilled

i'd be eating organic if i lived there, traps set full time

One of their problems is, they got sucked into a spay and neuter program, that was a joke and just made the problem worse. Being a community of Bunny Huggers, they just keep putting off the only real solution. Had the opportunity to button hole Jay Honeyman about this a while back. Laughing, I don't want to talk about that.

F&W should just relocate 6 lynx into Canmore. They would make short work of 1000 long ears.

Or Canmore's soup kitchen should hire a rabbit snarer.

Default $400,000

Just another example of our hard earned tax dollars at work! 400K would do a lot of good to some of the homeless people in our communities.

$400K of tax dollars, and still counting, to deal with some bunnies? That is awesome.
The bunnies are not the real problem in this scenario.
