What's up with all these rabbits?

Are you being overrun by rabbits? If you are, what are you doing about them? How are you keeping them out of your gardens? How do you avoid running over them as they dash in front of your moving vehicle?

We at the Beacon and the Nine Network have noticed more than the usual crop of bunnies this spring and we suspect we are not alone. Please respond to the questions below and tell us if rabbits have you hopping mad.
