I didn't realize you were thinking a few hundred yards away. In that case
you're merely wasting your time, that rabbit is back at your place before you
are...
If you really want to just protect your garden get real with your fence. If you
really want rabbits removed then kill them. Thats the only real solution.
When you move an animal into new territory (real new territory, miles away) it
will die. It will either be killed by predators since it doesn't know where to
hide, or it will starve or dehydrate or get hit by a car trying to follow you
home.What I'm saying in that situation is that you've doomed the animal to die
even if you aren't actually personally doing the killing. Since your method
means in most cases the animal will suffer a slow and painful death please
explain how it is more humane than a pellet to the head?

I am not into "saving" the bunny. I am merely protecting the hard work and
investment in a small vegetable garden by attempting - fruitlesslly so far - to
humanely a wabbit and move him a few hundred yards away to a new site. How is
this worse than killing and eating it?

I'm saying that in your example the rabbit dies either way. If you really want
to save his life leave him alone but don't go being all smug that you've "Saved
the little bunny" what you've done is doomed him to a short life of pain and
terror. Where my pellet gun ends his life cleanly with little pain. I'm a man,
I do the killing myself. You farm it out to somebody else and then claim it
isn't happening.
Are you sure you don't work in the healthcare system?

So what you're basically saying is that I need to slaughter anything that moves
in order to relieve it of suffering.

Spoken like a non-outdoorsman. You have no idea about rabbits at all, you've
never seen them bite one another to chase of an interloper, you've never seen
them attacked and killed by dogs or cats. You don't even bother to check if
your local park has a trapping program because they already have too many
rabbits. Your plan is just to dump your problems and let somebody else take
care of them...

A solitary rabbit that eats almost anything will survive just fine in a
park-like setting.

Fellow out at the lake suggests using thread and tying a raisin onto the
trap. The mouse has to work at it to get it and that sets off the trap.
We have been using peanut butter but the devils can lick it out of the
trap without setting it off unless I use the crunchy style and push the
nut pieces into the bait holder really good.
