    First thought - chainlink doesn't contain rabbits.

    Second thought - Makes perfect sense to me.

    Imagine somebody came by and took all of your fishing stuff because you were torturing and killing fish and eating them. Would you stop fishing? Would you becomea vegetarian? In her mind, that would be exactly the same. Actually, in her mind it would make more sense because you do kill fish on purpose.

    Nobody is addressing the underlying issue, so they will have to keep treating the symptoms.

    Very interesting.

    I would not see it that way, and admittedly, I don't think I can see it that way. But to see it through her eyes for a moment is interesting.

    To me, managing the lives of 100+ pets just seems so profoundly daunting.

    It seems sad to me, both the news story and the event. Glad I am not afflicted with this particular obsession. Don't understand the gawker phenomenon.

    Crazy! There is definitely a limit to how many pets a person can properly take care of. Exceptional people maybe a dozen-most not nearly as much.

    The rabbits are like her medicine for loneliness, I think.

    I have seen in dog rescue where people keep taking in more then they can handle & after awhile they are part of the problem they were trying to solve. Unfortunately, not all can be saved.

    Not all can be saved by an individual, that I would agree with.

    I agree. The underlying issues need to be treated. So true but also incredibly difficult.
