I’ve had several experiences with rabbits dropping litters where they would most likely encounter dogs. One feeding frenzy occurred with multiple nests in a dog park surrounded by open space. I figure those rabbits REALLY wanted to get its genes out of the pool!
The 2 times I encountered a nest of rabbits and (slightly off topic) a dog playing with a baby squirrel in my fenced yard, I got a shovel, dug a hole, used the shovel to kill the babies, and buried them.
I’ve got nothing against rabbits. But there is no shortage of them, and they are free to nest ANYWHERE in the entire world other than my backyard.
At times I’ve seen my and other dogs basically inhale baby bunnies, but they don’t really need that in their diets. (It is funny, because most of my dogs have been goldens, which have very “soft mouths” and are trained to retrieve. So it is not at all uncommon for a golden to come up to you with a live baby animal in there mouth. Depending on the dog, sometimes when you tell it to DROP IT, they instead inhale it.). And while most dogs would likely eventually kill baby vermin, IMO a shovel was a quicker, more humane route to the same end.
