It was my first trip to Paris, and I thought I'd seen rabbits

Kill da wabbit, kill da wabbit...

This is just the beginning...me and my floppy-eared minions are taking that whole damn country down.

Personally, I think we're fierce enough to do the job.  I mean, we're talking about the freakin' French here.

RAWR!!!!!!!

This is part of my vast wight wing conspiracy against France, shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

[xJones]

If only it were a plague of frogs for the Parisians. The live coverage of salivating French carrying knives and forks while chasing those plump little froggie legs would be priceless.

Now that's funny, Psycho Bunny! The odds are in your favor. :)

Hey France,
Surrender!!

Recently, turkey vultures feeding on the corpses of expired Blacktailed jackrabbits around Miami International Airport prompted the Federal Aviation Administration to demand a hare harvest. Animal rights activists objected to the airport's plan to let hunters solve the problem, so volunteers trapped bunnies and took them to a ranch in Texas. A judge gave permission for hunters to come in and take care of the stragglers (rabbits, not volunteers), but so far no rabbits have been shot.

How is it that judges control all aspects of life now?

Droppings were drawing mice.

The author must have meant Rats.
The only S eaters I have ever heard of are Rats.

CB^o

I would have thought French gastronomes would have taken care of the problem.

I give it a month before the rabbits are goose stepping up the "Champs d' Lysee" and setting up a puppet government in Paris.

"A judge gave permission for hunters to come in and take care of the stragglers (rabbits, not volunteers)..."

Darn! PETA-types are far more annoying pests than a few hundred bunnies.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

But rather than killing the bunnies, they are trapped and then trucked to the countryside where, I was told, they live happily ever after.

Well, someone lives happily ever after...

Hare today, gone tomorrow...
(Somebody had to say it.)

[KevinDavis]

France gives in to the rabbits.

[Pilsner]

LOL

Whenever my wife drags me to the symphony I always imagine Bugs Bunny conducting it.

I lived just west of Miami Internation from 1999-2002. I always got a kick out of the fauna of that technically "urban" area": Alligators, Jackrabbits, White-Tail rabbits, Raccoons, various reptiles (including Iguanas, who are descended from former pets released into the wild) etc...
