UVic’s rabbit problem won’t happen here

Allowing pet rabbits in Sidney doesn't mean we'll have an infestation on our hands

Re: Chicken, rabbit bylaw should remind us of past mistakes (Letters, July 4)

Thousands of cities and municipalities across Canada and the world allow rabbits as pets and they don’t have issues.

Why would we assume that because the University of Victoria had a tremendous overpopulation of wild rabbits that Sidney would become overrun by domesticated pet rabbits?

I say pass a bylaw that allows rabbits in Sidney, and if Helen Watt so desires, possibly include a spay/neuter requirement.
