The grass is not that green for the New England cottontail rabbit anymore, as its habitat is disappearing — and if there is no intervention the Massachusetts famous rabbit could become extinct, experts warn.

If you want to worship an orange pile of garbage with a reckless disregard for everything, get on down to Arbys & try our loaded curly fries.

I am not anti-bunny so much as I am pro-hawk.

Some of this is probably due to the normal population cycle rabbits go through, but leave it to the media to invent a crisis. 

I will agree with the mention that mature forests aren't good rabbit habitat.  Unintended consequence of anti-logging.
