I went with my locksmith Friend today to a "Re-key" job,
maybe 10-12 cylinders,
and sitting in the garage, in a cage, was an adult, 4 year old male rabbit.
I made comment to the female resident, (about 40 something) that the poor guy needed to stretch his legs.
This was probably a $750,000 house and I was told,
"Well, this house is just a small house that we're renting. We can't let the rabbit run free here. Do You want him? Free?"
I wanted to cry, right there.
I could not take Mr. Long Ears.
I suggested the animal shelters. {Knowing the futility of such},
Finally suggesting "Craig's List."
I felt the need to mention for her to be careful of respondents, perhaps looking for an alternative to a chicken dinner.
I later told my locksmith Friend that a domesticated rabbit turned into the wild
would surely become a meal of the first predator they encountered.
I'm still thinking of it now.....
What could I have done?
Best,
Scott
