Undermining Canadian Civilization
Or at least one town in Canada. The Animal Uprising™ has sent its rodent minions to undermine the entire town of Canmore, Alberta. The ultimate goal is to have the entire place disappear into the ground.
Canmore, Alberta, just outside the gate of Banff National Park, has found itself inundated with rabbits, and dealing with property damage, years after domesticated animals were set free in the picturesque community, Mayor Ron Casey said on Monday.
"They've been populating one area of town for likely 20 years or more, but the numbers have increased over the last four or five years for a variety of reasons, so now they've spread out a little wider," Casey said……
…..Casey said he could not confirm media reports pegging bunny numbers at more than 1,000.
"I know I can look out the front door of my house virtually any time and see four to six rabbits."
The burrowing bunnies have been working under the town for twenty years. Canmore ought to collapse into the center of the earth any time now. Predictably, some residents don't see the problem as a problem.

So…where are the coyotes? The buffet line is OPEN!
Eagles? Cougars? Foxes?

Actually, bunnies aren’t rodents, they are lagomorphs:

They will forever be rodents to me.
