Though heavily fortified, my perimiter was overrun a while back. I was experiencing heavy casualties in my Ravanea Xerophyla sector...so...after many unsuccessful search and destroy missions, I laid a trap.

The enemy had taken a position in my Yucca Rostrata sector, so I made a temporary fence to herd him into the trap....

..note trap on right.

Note captured enemy...

I think I'll take him up to Gary Levines and let him go... :P

Did you shoost the wabbit? I love shoosting. Note the evil glare in its eye. It says, " Yum, I wanna get out and eat all of Steve's tasty palms."

Isn't it WEIRD how the rabbits tend to go after the blue stuff? The only thing they seem to want to eat at my place is the 5 gal Brahea armatas...

but ever since I sprayed 'em with Malathion (they had some mealy bug, and I just used a LITTLE bit Steve), they don't tend to wanna munch on them anymore.

I promised the wife that I would let him go(somewhere far away)...I'm softening up in my old age.

Also, he was eating my Ravaneas, and living in the Yuccas.

Didn't he have a starring role in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"? :o

He is quite evil looking I must admit.  I think he's been hittin' the carrot pipe again!  Nice work Steve deciding to let him go instead of killing him.  Very humane.

..not so fast with the praise...I usually punch .22 caliber holes in them so they'll stop eating my palms. This one happened to allude me, though.

And, I didn't want to find my worker in my field with his head chewed off.

I'm a softie, too, BUT

A man's gotta eat, and a bunny rabbit's gotta eat, and if you've trapped him because he's (or she's) ravaging your garden, just letting him/her/it go won't do it.  (And, he won't even fit down the john!)

So, just be quick, get it over with fast.  Yeah, Steve, you're lucky to be out in the country where no one can hear your Glock . . . .

Wild wabbit's good, though I think you have to be careful about cutting out glands and stuff . . . .

Good fertilizer!

You guys are missing the point...after Dave forgave the machete wielding roomate, and only whacked him "with the baseball bat in my heart" (ala Jimmy Carter") , I decided to make a funny comparison...apparently it bombed.

This particular vermin was released about 3 miles down the road...

Well Steve, I am glad that you took it 3 miles down the road and let it go. Did you put a tracking device on it so you'll know if it returns?

People, well, whack them with a machete, it's mayhem, homicide, depending.

Wabbit, well, it's just whacking a wabbit.

Steve, I think you probably introduced that prodigiously reproductive bunny to its mate!

Oh, dear god.

I remember my kitty cat, from ages ago, who wanted a wascally wabbit wepose, and went for a mama wabbit and her widda biddy babies.

Mama kicked ass, but she was away that day.

The carnage was well, carnage in that grand tradition of Hunnic pretty-kitty-slaughter.  Bunny rabbit pieces littered the ground (including biddy widda heads, with big liquid eyes, ack!), while the kitty cat licked his private parts, a job well done.

But, those meltingly, obscenely, icky-[expletive]-cute baby bunnies really are the manifestation of Satan on Earth.   Gremlin porno!

When I read about Oz's tribulations with rabbits, it sends a chill. . . . .

I mean, seriouslyl.

So, Steve, don't go soft on us.  Kill kill kill . . ..
