Am I Turning Liberal, RINO, or what (Vanity)

I need help from the Freeper Community. My entire bean garden was wiped out by a cottontail rabbit this weekend. The rabbit can be seen in my backyard mocking me with her twitching nose. I have been an avid hunter and have killed myriads of game before but I am having difficulty (with my wife's advice) from sending this Obama rabbit to the great carrot garden in the sky. My question is thus: Is my hesitancy in expediting this rabbit a sign of liberal or worse RINO behavior? Am I caving in to the zeitgeist of the times by not putting a .22 into the head of Watership Down resident? My other options are repellant sprays, live trapping, or installing a $100 rabbit fence. If I get any Freeper responses to my dilemna, I will follow their advice (like a true RINO). The fate of Peter Cottontail is now in your hands!

Borrow a cat. Cats have no qualms about dining on rabbit and they’re very good at catching them.

Or get a roll of chicken wire & some bamboo stakes and fence the rabbits out. Of course then the birds will still eat the bean sprouts unless you put chicken wire over the garden.

Have you tried a beeberlike device set to stune?

Thanks for the recipe for the spray. We have lots of rabbits here in our yard. They always (almost) get through the fence before the Jack Russels can catch them. I don't have a vegetable garden but there are some kinds of flowers I don't plant because they are rabbit bait. Maybe I will try this.
