Parks board invites public comment on removing Woodland Park rabbits

SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER STAFF

The Seattle Board of Park Commissioners has set a public hearing for Thursday on relocating the rabbits in Woodland Park.

The hearing will take place during the board's regular meeting, 6 p.m., parks headquarters, 100 Dexter Ave. N., Seattle.

The rabbits, which are damaging tree roots in the park, have been estimated to number 300 to 500 or more.

Staff members have been working with the Progressive Animal Welfare Society, Seattle Animal Shelter and the non-profit Rabbit Meadow Sanctuary on a proposal to trap, sterilize and move the animals. Volunteers would put up temporary fencing beginning in January, capture the rabbits and take them for surgery, then to the Rabbit Meadow Sanctuary in Redmond.
