A Texas town has been subjected to wild acts of vandalism by dastardly creatures looking to ruin the holidays: bunnies.
Rabbits have been accused of chewing electrical cords, breaking ceramic statues and leaving decorations in a huge mess.
On Thursday, the Hutto Police Department issued a public statement telling its residents that their “native tail,” which is usually “timid and docile,” is wreaking havoc.
Police said, “Every year during the holidays, these cute, furry bunnies go on a rampage of crime,” and noted that “the prime suspect will be much more like Bugs Bunny than your neighborhood kids.”
“They are committing seemingly random acts of vandalism while tarnishing the reputation of our local youth.”
One woman named Jackie Lord, who called the culprits “little assholes,” wrote after viewing the recommendation that she “learned so quickly” and then posted a sad emoji to express her grief: “The little assholes got to me the day after my the rewards were lost.” up.’
The white rabbit was caught red-handed. This is a photo released Thursday by the Hutto Police Department warning residents to be vigilant.
A woman wrote that rabbits had chewed through her cords and damaged her Christmas lights.
Authorities urged homeowners who have light decorations located near the ground to be vigilant.
Officials added that “the destructive and vengeful hare will 100% bite through the strand and cause the most damage in the least convenient place.”
Another homeowner, who was stumped before the police warning was issued, said she had “no idea what it was” when a similar incident happened to her last week, but seemed encouraged when she found out what happened.
“You solved this case for us,” she said. – Well done, police.
One resident, who seemed unfazed, said that the first year they decorated their home, they thought they were children.
Jackie Lord was one of those who took to Facebook to share her frustration at the destruction the bunnies left in their wake.
Others took to Facebook to share humorous photos of the tormentor, while others noted that the rabbit depicted by officials was “not” a cottontail.
Some advised some homeowners to purchase a scarecrow, while others gave more technical explanations and suggested a DIY solution to the problem.
“The home community of ‘bunny parents’ call ANY wire or cord ‘spicy hay,'” they wrote.
“If you need to cover a small area, Amazon and Home Depot sell wire covers—you can run a fork through a clear or grey/white/black tube and bunnies won’t be able to get to them.”
One person who seemed to love animals wrote: “Please be kind to the bunnies. We must share our peace with all of God’s creatures.”
Located in Williamson County, Texas and part of the Austin-Round Rock metropolitan area, Hutto is home to more than 27,000 people.
