In Response To: Kelowna's rabbit killing contractor's killing methods: Gassing, drowning, and injecting with dry ice (Sinikka Crosland - TRACS)

According to a September 19th CHBC TV report, “the shooting of Kelowna's feral rabbits may be over now, and an animal rights group may get its turn to try and deal with the problem.”

There is some cautious optimism that the huge public backlash against the city hiring EBB to exterminate the bunnies will give TRACS the opportunity to humanely capture, sterilize, and remove them to safe environments. There has been tremendous support from a wide network of individuals, animal advocacy groups, and businesses to save these critters.

The public has spoken. Hopefully the message has been heard, loud and clear, at City Hall.
