I find the rabbit problem in Kelowna to be a complex issue that there are no easy answers to. If they are left as is, then undoubtedly the population will continue to increase, and continue to be victim to vehicular injury, domesticated animal attack, and quite possibly to injury/poisoning by irritated people. If they are relocated and left to continue to breed, they will quickly overpopulate the area.

These animals were captivity bred for hundreds of years, to become the domestic breed that they are. We did this to them, we need to take on responsibility for them. They cannot be expected to forage and live as wildlife would, as they have been so far genetically removed from that lifestyle. We are their guardians, and should ensure that they are in safety and comfort. If this involves relocating them to a "wild" safe area with a caregiver that can provide them with food and ensure that they have access to shelter, wonderful. But the population growth must stop, or the problem will be compounded.
It is a shame that our society views animals as such a disposable item, and it is up to the rest of the people to make sure that the best interests of domesticated species is done, rather than force them to "live wild" in surroundings that they are no longer equipped for.
