FOXNews.com - Predators Promptly Scarf Up Endangered Rabbits Reintroduced Into Washington Wildlife Area - Science News | Current Articles

How's that old song go: "History shows again and again how nature points out the folly of men...."

Well, this one isn't quite like that. In a multi-million dollar lollapalooza, the Washington Fish and Wildlife department release 20 endangered rabbits back into the Sagebrush Flat Wildlife Area. According to the "pygmy rabbit coordinator" David Hays, only four of the varmints released were still alive: "Coyote Munched" says Paulie.

There are two things that are amazing in this. First, that a rabbit breeding program cost millions. Second, that someone actually has a title "Pygmy Rabbit Coordinator," is proud of it, allows himself to be quoted using that title, and doesn't work for a cartoon production company.

Amazing. "Several of the rabbits were fitted with GPS monitors." The pygmy rabbit coordinator said the agency is "looking at ways to reduce predation." Yes, let's teach coyotes and wolves to be nice to rabbits.

There is just way too much in this article that shows how misguided our society is getting. "Rabbits that introduced into the wild with great fanfare last month have been killed by predators." Way to unintentionally funny.

Unbelievable. History shows again and again how nature points out the folly of men. Go go Godzilla!!
