UVic prepares long-term rabbit management plan

UVic is developing a long-term plan to reduce and manage the feral rabbit population on campus. In the meantime the university has, with a great deal of reluctance, had to move on May 8 to a limited cull of rabbits in the vicinity of the playing fields in order to address the acute health and safety issues and remove the risk of a catastrophic injury resulting from stepping in rabbit holes for university and community users of the playing fields. UVic expects to publicly release the plan in late June. More info: www.uvic.ca/rabbits
