A friend (Hi Joan!) sent me a link to this news story about a woman with 334 bunnies in her yard. (How did they count them accurately I wonder??? )
Yep, in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, a certain Nancy Haseman was cited because the local ordinance only allows FIVE pets per household, and she, shall we say, somewhat exceeded it with her 334 bunnies hopping around in her yard. (I'm thinking that isn't all those bunnies are doing in her yard to multiply so rapidly - place must be pretty X-rated!)
If she could have kept her bunch of bunnies in her own yard, she might have got away with it, but a neighbor complained about the rabbits eating her garden. Can you imagine having 334 rabbits in your garden? Sounds like a plague of Biblical proportions! I don't think there'd be much left of any garden after that many rabbits chomped their way through.
I mean, just take a look at that picture! It's a visual aid to show you exactly what 334 bunny rabbits looks like. That's a whole lot of Hassenpfeffer hopping around in your back yard or garden!
Evidently this all started when her husband rescued a rabbit 12 years ago after a neighbor abandoned it, then the couple began rescuing more bunnies. Though she says they "kept the males separate from the females," apparently the males hopped the fence and things got "out of control." (Talk about understatement!)
Well, you know the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. Guess the boys thought that wasn't all that looked good on the other side of the fence.
Hassenpfeffer anyone?

What is the matter with people? They’ll never be able to get them all adopted out.
I’ll be there for the Hassenpfeffer, just tell me when.
The one comfort I take in that story is there’s somebody in the world even stranger than I am!
