Another Wild Rabbit Slaughter in the Yard [View all]

As I went to retrieve the trash can and recycling tote from the curb this morning, I noticed rabbit fur in the yard.

Last summer there was a group of foxes that circled the house and they killed a wild rabbit in the driveway.

I don't try to tame the wild rabbits, our yard is more clover than grass. Our yard is popular with bees and wild rabbits.

It's upsetting to find this. I know it's a part of nature. If the culprit would slay the rabbits in a neighbor's yard it wouldn't be upsetting because then I wouldn't know about it.

Perhaps it's time to call a lawn service company for weed control (for the spring/summer) to discourage wild rabbits from inhabiting it.

Any other thoughts or suggestions are welcomed.
