I have a problem with rabbits in my back yard; it's out of control. See, I leave food out in my fenceless backyard and the rabbits just come right over the property line and make my backyard their home. I don't want them there and I even passed a decree that they have to stay out. But, I keep leaving food, and they keep coming.
The field mice are pretty upset about it. They say that the rabbits are overrunning everything and starting to change the general culture of the backyard. I tried to get the birds to keep the rabbits out, especially the ones causing problems but they said they can't tell the difference between the rabbits that I brought into the yard and the ones that are coming over. Besides, they don't want to discriminate by asking the rabbits if they should be here or not. They suggested that I stop putting food in the yard and put up a fence. I told them that was a dumb idea and cause I want the rabbits to like me. So I put some more food out.
Finally I realized that the field mice and other rodents in the yard were starting not to like me so I decided to do something about it. I figured the best way to handle the problem was to put up a segment of fence about a quarter of the way across the back yard. That should solve the problem.
If that doesn't work I don't know what I'll do. Things just keep getting worse.
Not too long ago I realized some badgers started coming into my yard and killing all the other animals. I captured some and talked to them; they told me that's just what they do, kill animals. I told them they shouldn't do that and that they should be nice and love the other animals. Wouldn't you know it, they then tried to attack my wife. So I found there nest and killed a few. The others got mad and said they would come kill more animals in my yard. I also got an ear full from the neighbors about how I shouldn't kill animals and how if I'm nice to them, they'll be nice to me.
Well, I started being nice and put out special food for them. I even took food to their nest. Those dang badgers had the nerve to try to kill me. I asked them why but they told me the same thing, "that's what we do". I tried to reason with them but now they're saying they don't like me or my neighbors and that they're not going to stop until they kill us all.
That sucks. Oh well, I guess I'll run home to put some more food in the backyard.
Ya'll come back now, ya hear!
