    i mean rabbits and hares literally spend their lives on our lawns, i feel like trying to keep them wild at this point is just denying reality. These urban animals have just filled a new evolutionary niche that we created, the only way to prevent it is to stop living like we do. Their wild state is to not fear humans anymore.

    IMO we might as well just embrace it and try to actively integrate them into society, manage and work with them rather than pretend they’re wild animals, much like how some people treat orbweaver spiders where they actively move them to spots they can set up their net and keep the house bug-free.

    • I would rather share my cubical space with a rabbit than a human, any day. Just watching them try to type out Java object factories with generics would be hilarious.

      (Note, am not Java developer, nor do I work in a cubicle. But if I did…)
