Rabbits as Sacrificial Loss...
@Watermelon123
I probably just started WW3

Eh, no harm done. However, isn't breeding for slow rabbits kinda seem wrong? I don't know just seems like he is just planing to backtrack years of evolution. Better yet, the rabbits he is using for "sacrifice" are not wild. They are domesticated (look at their heads and coloring) so they have NO CHANCE to EVER survive in the wild. Rabbits just don't work that way. That is probably the reasons why they don't go far from the coop, because they know it is safe there, and there is food.

I get the idea, and in all honesty it should work for the predator problem (at least before the said predators start reproducing more, he will need to always add more and more rabbits to keep up with demand) but as a way to help his struggle, maybe use the meat rabbits? The red eyed white ones are bred to be big, and not so fast, plus the white stands out. And either way, they're gonna end up on SOMEONE'S table for dinner.

As a bonus, during the summer, there is lots of food. But by releasing "free food" he is setting the predators to come by in winter, where they will eat EVERYTHING. So won't really be stopping the problem, but feeding it and making it bigger.

Large rabbit operations can get costly after awhile. Why didn't he just invest in something a little more durable? And like melon said keeping up with the demand will be difficult.

30 day gestation + 6 or more weeks to increase size on a rabbit. That's almost 3 months. Plus feeding during the 6+ weeks. Then waiting to rebreed the doe. And the cycle continues.

Either way, it would be seen as abandonment, that is at least in Ohio, a felony. So, there's that to consider.

I find that very wrong. Laughing as watching the kids and dogs chase them. There is a thing as a humane death . Just me maybe .

Female rabbits can be rebred almost immediately after giving birth. However, inbreeding is bound occur if he is just using the same rabbits and their offspring.

At least we might get some rain again. There's cracks in the ground wide enough I can fit my hand in.
Didn't even notice legal.
