Down the Rabbit Hole

Like Alice, my fall into the rabbit hole keeps getting curiouser and curiouser. Take this article in Sunday’s paper.

Apparantly there are fewer than 100 cottontails in NH, less than 300 in Maine. Well I say  pat on the back to you my northern neighbors. Granted they are refering to the New England cottontail, not the Eastern Cottontail(  Sylvilagus floidanus, which I believe is the one plaguing us here). But who really cares. I remember when I thought bunnies were cute too, and I also appreciate the whole food chain, bio-diversity and endangered species arguments, but  BLAH BLAH BLAH!

Honestly, seeing it  I felt the same way I would have if the headline read ” Smallpox  Eradicated: Science to re-introduce to preserve viral diversity”    My hostility runs that deep.

And then there is this puzzlement:

It is yet another repellent I ordered online called Shake Away. Note the full name of the product is “Shake Away Fox Urine Granules”

Now scan your eyeballs down to the active ingredient list (get your glasses on )  It reads : active ingredient….coyote urine

I guess common sense would obviously tell you that the active ingredient in fox urine granules would  be    ….er…coyote urine?

I’m off to find the Chesire Cat, not to catch the rabbits silly, Bill is highly allergic to all things feline, but to score some of the drugs he is peddling to help me cope 😉

      Hey Bobbi, not too well at all. cages of wire are protecting a few plants and an area of seedlings, I hung wool soaked in fox urine (REAL fox urine) in some areas and they seem bunny free, sprayed every plant in the garden with Plantskyyd yesterday, but missed a small area out front and awoke to find several plants there gone. GRRRRRRR….There are bunnies in every yard in my neighborhood so this battle has just begun , if I ever discover the solution I will share it with all!! Sorry about your seedlings that is the worst , established perennials at least have a prayer of recovering but not seedlings 🙁
