The only thing that can be done is do a massive rescue. Have rescues all over the country divide up bunnies to take. Not sure who takes care of island but once the bunnies are all saved, put up cameras and anyone else who gets caught dumping them then they should be put in jail. This makes me sick to my stomach. I hate to see bunnies and any other animals dumped. It’s so cruel.

It's been an ongoing problem in Victoria and Vancouver for decades. Other locations that have or have had feral-domestic rabbit populations are the universities and the hospitals. Details differ, but the stereotypical scenario is that someone is given a pet rabbit while in long-term care or attending classes then has no where to keep it when they leave. Since winters here are pretty mild, released animals have a decent survival rate. There was a big cull in the late '90s when they trapped and relocated several hundred rabbits; one estimate suggested a population over 700 at the Victoria General Hospital alone. Aside from the harm to the rabbits, the big fear is that having rabbit populations in the cities is a draw for predators, especially cougars.

The one time I was there, aside from people feeding rabbits food that isn't the best for them, there are those who think its funny to let their dog or kids chase the rabbits, and others who make the typical "that would be a tasty dinner" joke. It's awful. As far as I'm aware the city has mostly turned a blind eye to it. But I'm like you, I have no clue what the solution would be. There's too many for rescues to help, and even if they captured them all, you still haven't gotten to the root issue, which is people dumping them to begin with

The town I live in had a feral cat problem, still does to a degree. One thing that helps is a catch, neuter/spay vaccinate, and release. Also foxes and hawks help, but not in a good way, my cat came home after escaping once with deep gashes like a hawk had gotten him but he fought free. With populations like that an aggressive program is all that helps. Also, adopting the kits can help, my cat was the kitten of a feral that was socialized young and trusted people, but still escaped outdoors whenever he could.

I have an idea. Turn it into a petting zoo. First, set up a quick temporary fence. Then build a permanent fence around it so all the bunnies are enclosed in a safe area. Then, colony by colony catch, spay/neuter and treat injuries and release back to their territory in the enclosure. Vets would have to come on board to help with cost. Volunteers could set up appropriate shelters inside the enclosure. Have feeding stations at each colony location. Build paths and benches along the paths. Hire folks to monitor the gate during open hours and people pay to go inside and pay for treats to give to the bunnies. People could come, sit, pet and feed the bunnies under supervision. For protection from predators, I used to have two guarding dogs that ran loose 24/7 on my farm and they were 100 safe with the rabbits and often hung out in the bunny yard when the bunnies were outside

A few years ago I visited Canada, mainly BC. We also went to a place called Canmore, Alberta where the fields were filled with hundreds of domestic bunnies. In fact when we first arrived we saw 3 baby buns and thought they'd escaped from someones house but when we asked a local they told us that years ago someone abandoned a pair of non- neutered/spayed domestic rabbits thinking they'd get eaten by foxes or coyotes. The rabbits actually survived though and populated the whole of Canmore with their offspring. And to think all of it could've been avoided if those owners had rehomed the original 2 buns.

Thanks for illuminating the desperate plight of the poor Jericho Beach Buns. I suppose the only solution that has any chance of success would be TNR - but the overwhelmed local rabbit sanctuaries wouldn't be able to fund it, and the City of Vancouver is not likely to try - as the double standard permeates City Hall. BC doesn't even have a vet school, so a shortage of vets is another one of our problems - and those few we have are burning out. A massive Trap, Neuter, Vaccinate and Release program would probably stall on that sticking point alone - unless vets from the rest of the continent volunteered their time. The whole situation is just heartbreaking. Thank you so much for caring.

Because some people might think they’re helping the bunnies by feeding them, but they will feed them something harmful. Because people feel the need to be dum and ignore the sign and feed them anyway, make sure they’re feeding them the right things or nothing at all.

my rabbit cardamom was dumped in my neighborhood and shower up on my yard early December. there were two actually but i was only able to catch him. and he was unfixed. it blows my mind people just dumb them unfixed and think its an ok thing to do. he is so very timid but now safely cared for because i found him. breaks my hear to see all these bunnies.
