Across seven states in the Southwest, thousands of wild and domestic rabbits are dying from a rare outbreak of a highly contagious disease known as rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV2).
"We refer to it as 'bunny Ebola,'" Amanda Jones, a veterinarian from Killeen, Texas, told The Cut. While the rabbit virus is "not related in any way, shape, or form" to ebola a virus that causes severe bleeding, organ failure, and death in humans and primates Jones said RHDV2 ravages rabbit bodies in a similar manner.
The virus causes lesions in rabbits' organs and tissues, which leads to internal bleeding and death. Often the only outward sign that the animals are infected comes after their death: After suddenly dropping dead, their noses leak bloody discharge.

I’m on a few different self-reliance forums. Lots of people raising meat rabbits for the first time this year, in an attempt to be more independent.
This is not good.
The U.S.A. does not need to be a tourism or disease hot spot. The U.S.A. does not need to have so many products manufactured on foreign soil. The U.S.A. does not need narcissistic conspiracy theorists making noise as cover for supporting globalism.
Defeat globalism. Stop the hitchhiking bug.
The disease in rabbits came from China 35 years ago.

Nature’s way of culling over population in a species.
Wear yer masks!
Yeah, hope it doesn’t mutate and make the jump to humans. Doubtless some lab is trying to weaponize it. Just cuz they can.
For folks like Bill Gates, it’s great— he’s invested in lab grown meat for the future.
Do a search for “synthetic meat bill gates.”
From what I've read about Hugh's mansion over the years, I suspect they were probably pretty riddled with infectious diseases long before the dawn of bunny ebola.
Oh, those poor, poor bunnies. Is there any way we can help them before they get all of those awful diseases?
Maybe we can get them medically tested and treated. I can adopt a couple of those cute little bunnies and give them a safe place to live.

Because there were millions of these rabbits, even in the cities. Shotguns would not be very effective as they were in so many areas. I think we have been using these viruses since 1995 and it has been very effective. Ten years ago, the bunnies were tearing up my yard and flowers. I have not seen a bunnie now for about 3 years, although there are a few around. We still have foxes that were also introduced and they are also great pests killing the natural fauna.
