If any members in Dorset are able to offer either their time or a safe haven, they may be able to help a warren of wild rabbits who have lived for sometime on a roundabout that the Highways Agency is about to remove in favour of a dual carriageway. They are quoted as saying, 'rabbits are not a protected species and are normally classed as a pest in agricultural and woodland situations' and, while they are prepared to relocate protected reptiles from the site, their only plan for the rabbits is to use ferrets to catch the rabbits, which they will then kill.
If you have any land you'd be happy for the rabbits to be released onto, or are able to offer help in rounding them up, please contact Lynette here lynnette.payne@tesco.net She has local schoolchildren onside, writing petitions and doing what they can. We could do with practical help from adults as well.
The full story is reported in the local newspaper here
