Growing feral rabbit population in the crosshairs at Saanich council

Saanich is requesting provincial assistance to manage the increasing feral rabbit population, as residents report a spike in numbers.
The responsibility for controlling these rabbits currently falls on municipalities and underfunded organizations, with costs reaching $348 per rabbit.
A resident reported nearly $2,000 in damage due to the growing rabbit population, despite attempts at repellents and trapping.
The Saanich motion seeks a coordinated strategy from the province to address the root causes of rabbit abandonment, with discussions planned for April 2025.
