Last year about this time, I blogged about my problem with rabbits in my backyard. The rabbits seemed to have moved to the front yard and while they are a nuisance, I see them more in my neighbor’s yard than mine.

I’m not the only one that thinks rabbits are a nuisance. People are Googling on the phrase "getting rid of rabbits" and ending up at my blog, reading the posting from last year.

Based on a recent article from the Wall Street Journal, rabbits are a problem all over the world. In the port of Rotterdam, rabbits have become a problem in terms of digging up ground and unsettling pipelines.

The port has hired a man whose sole job is to hunt rabbits. His secret?  He uses ferrets to root rabbits out of their holes.  He drives around the port facility, shooting from his truck, being careful not to hit a pipe in the process. His one-day record is 364 rabbits. That’s alot of rabbits. It makes me wonder how many more were underground, shaking in their bunny holes.

My rabbit problem seems to pale in comparison. If you end up at my blog, based on searching for solutions to your own rabbit problem, know that it couldn’t be nearly as bad as the port of Rotterdam. Ahhhh, the wonders of schadenfreude.
