Why shoot a harmless little bunnie?
Shoot the neighborhood dog that barks all dark and keeps anybody awake.

I agree..I notice there are lots of rabbits at my brothers business firm every time I visit. I suppose if i were growing veggies in a garden they would be a problem.

The only thing I can say for sure is y'all demand a Hunter's Ed menu (unless born earlier Sept 1976?) and a hunting license. You get caught killing so much every bit a frog in Texas without those two things and you could confront some pretty steep fines.

Due to this economic system many people are looking for ways to feed their family. Rabbit is very edible and a proficient style to reduce the grocery bill. In addition if they properly skinned and cured the hides they can be sold for additional money to help pay bills. If this is the case I would as well recommend that you bring your story to the news media to see if we tin not assistance shame our worthless government leaders into doing the job they were voted in for instead of lining their pockets at the peoples expense.

iii) small critters similar baby rabbits is a proficient food source for rattle snakes...eleminate the food source, and you eleminate possible rattle ophidian bug...which tin can be fatal to humans.

4) cute picayune wild critters carry deceases like Rabies which again can cause harm to humans. There is a cure for Rabies but it tin run equally high as 7,000.00!

Not many gardeners on this board, I see. Permit an out-of-control multi-generational pack of them chow downward and destroy $100+ of newly planted seedlings overnight, then tell me how "cute" they are. IMO, rabbits are one stride up from rodents.

Whatsoever time I'm in a restaurant with rabbit on the menu, I guild it. I don't even like the taste very much. Information technology's the principle of the thing.

Here'due south the answer, direct from the Plano web site:

That exception is buried in the "..." (as is "cops tin shoot guns"), only it went on for nearly 3 more clauses and obscured the clarity of "No, you can't go out and shoot rabbits with a BB gun".

My blood brother lived in Plano for about six years and everytime nosotros went to his firm, at that place were rabbits everywhere and he couldn't do annihilation about information technology because you can't shoot them.

Big M, I am an avid gardener and even though I don't live in the immediate Metroplex anymore, you are correct, rabbits will eat yous out of anything overnight. I tin can't get my morning glory to actually grow considering every night the rabbits will consume the leaves off, same thing for some of my veggies and herbs. So our solution? We shoot them because we tin.
