a young rabbit ... we have a policy of putting all wildlife that escapes the fangs of our cats into a big cosy box ...
if the survive one hour ... and appear agile and capable of voluntary movement .. we release them back unto the wild from where they came ...
this little rabbit lived to see another day ...
It is however interesting to contemplate ... we have hundreds of rabbits here where we live and need the cats to keep the population at a managable level in order for us to be able to successfully grow our vegetables ... yet when faced with the sight of a little rabbit in distress all sorts of instinctive protective urges set in ... at time I imagine I feel like a lion mama protecting her young ...devoid of any rational thought :) .. but the I like it that way and it makes me happy to see a little white bobbly tail race of into the undergrowth ... until tomorrow :)
