In the north, where I live the local bunnies numbers can reach plaque proportions.

It used to happen about every seven years but human development has upset the cycle so the last plaque I remember in this area was around 1982-83.
That year I was working seismic, the recording crew kept finding dead bunnies along their Jug line. One day they collected a bunch and piled them up and took a picture.

The pile was higher then most men. I don't know what the count was but it was in the hundreds. The Edmonton Journal got ahold of that photo and wrote a scathing article about how seismic workers were killing off all the rabbits.

Well they aren't rabbits, they are Hares and the workers had not killed them, starvation and disease had killed them.

That was the beginning of my education on journalism.
