http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12851338/from/RSS/ I just read this. The bunnies look so adorable :cry:. At least there's still hope in terms of crossbreeding .
That is really sad. I wonder, in all seriousness, if cloning could be used in a helpful way at some point in this situation? That little bunny was just so tiny and sweet...
That's so sad.... I wonder when we as a civilization will start caring about the environment and all the creatures that depend on it..
that is so sad. i absolutely love bunnies. i saw a baby jack rabbit at my school today...he was sooo tiny and i was worried that he might get hit by a car b/c he was awfully close to the road. hopefully his mom came back and lectured him not to play so close to cars!
Yes, that's what I was thinking too. It's very very sad. And I agree with what the executive director of the Idaho-based Western Watersheds Project said in that article: "Any time we lose a species it diminishes us all."
Aww, poor baby. I used to have pet rabbits as a kid - dwarves, not pygmy - and I can't fathom losing a whole species of them like this. I really hope the crossbreeding program proves successful.
