Sorry I didn't read this sooner. I sure hope they change their minds. In yesterday's Washington Post under "Pet Watch" (a weekly feature about arrests, rescues etc in the Washington DC area) they had a brief about an elementary schools "pet" bunny, which had a "safe" pen outside was found de-capitated by the school janitor. They suspect some sort of preditor animal, not human nasty brats. Oh please let your folks keep them inside, at least at night.......... Laurie
