Denver Airport Overrun by Car-Eating Rabbits 278
It turns out the soy-based wire covering on cars built after 2002 is irresistible to rodents. Nobody knows this better than those unlucky enough to park at DIA's Pikes Peak lot. The rabbits surrounding the area have been using the lot as an all-you-can-eat wiring buffet. Looks like it's time to break out The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch.

My stepdaughter had a pet rabbit (horrible pets, btw), and it used to love chewing on our computer wires.
Horrible pets? How can you say that? They're such sweet animals... They're very affectionate and playful and clean, and chewing things is just about the only kind of mischief they get into...
The trick with the wires is to bunny-proof spaces where the rabbits will be out. Make the cords inaccessible.

Yeah, but that requires, like, work and stuff! I want to just get a rabbit around easter time, throw it in a cage, and then forget about it! Isn't that what pets are for?

I'm being as merciful as Nature, which kills the vast majority of life forms. Nature is far more ruthless than any human.
Right, which is typically why we strive to do better than nature.
