A "huge flock" of jackrabbits in a Fargo, North Dakota, neighborhood has homeowners feeling jumpy.
More than 50 jackrabbits the size of small dogs have been hopping around backyards and a park of a new development in South Fargo, resident Kayla Straabe told ABC News today.
"Every day, I feel like the crazy rabbit lady chasing them out of the yard where they're having a hay day," Straabe said. "There's at least 40 to 50 everyday, and they're in our yards and by a children's park."
She said the city pest control department told her that they couldn't do anything about the jackrabbits, technically wild hares, because they were wild animals.
"I was told we should poison them, which I will absolutely not do," Straabe said.
There is no city ordinance that deals with depopulating rabbits in the area, Fargo Police Lt. Joel Vettel told ABC News.

Boys with high power pellet guns or .22’s would fill some stewpots real quick.

“Dog-sized” means Chihuahua or St. Bernard?

Possibly non-humane for something that size. I’m thinking .22 CB shorts would be the ticket.

A “flock” of rabbits? Were they flying?
The correct term for a large group of rabbits is “herd”.

You might not drop them on there on the spot — but they would die somewhere.

.33 is available, just not from a local seller. You’ll have to go online to find it.

Is that ammo more available than .22 these days? It's easy to find online, but is about two bits a round.

Never heard of anyone eating jack rabbit. I know some eat cottontail. I don’t.
