In Alaska,also, Janie, rabbits/hares go through boom and bust cycles. In Juneau, there is a still currently-localized plague of them. Domestic rabbits appear to have been released into the wild some years ago and now homeowners in that vicinity lose their gardens to them. There ain't nuthin' dumber than humans; all across the country/world? we have lakes with non-native predatory fish in them, exotic snakes that don't belong in their new habitats, animals of all stripes that have adapted and thrive in their new climates and conditions. All released by people who no longer wanted their 'pets'.
