Bunnies taking toll on cars at Denver airport
DENVER (AP) - Silly rabbits.
The furry creatures are wreaking havoc on cars parked at Denver International Airport by eating spark plug cables and other wiring.
To stop the problem, federal wildlife workers are removing at least 100 bunnies a month while parking companies install better fences and build perches for predator hawks and eagles.
KCNC-TV reported Thursday there's another way to stop the damage that can cost thousands of dollars to repair.
Mechanics say coating the wires with fox or coyote urine can rob the rabbits of their appetite. Fox urine can be purchased at many hunting shops.

Somehow this article gave me a mental picture of Nicholas Cage saying ..."put the bunny down"
How does one procure fox urine in order to market it?
@ethicsmatter Little toilets and lots and lots of patience=) But can you imagine the poor mechanic that's going to have to go under the hood after the fox urine had a chance to bake on to all that's under the hood. Awwww the smell of urine early in the morning=)
