The shores of Langley, Washington are under siege. The earth is riddled with holes and more. The problem is so bad, kids at Langley Middle School have to be on the lookout for tiny landmines whenever they go out for physical education.
"There is feces everywhere and there are some illnesses that can be carried and transmitted," said Brian Miller. Facilities Director for the South Whidbey School District. "Every day there are new holes, and the ones we’ve filled in are dug out, again."
But the culprits aren’t gophers or moles or even rats.
They’re bunnies.
Countless wild rabbits are digging up the middle school football field that the district just paid $80,000 to restore. They’re destroying the foundations of buildings at the Island County Fairgrounds, and posing health risks to people and pets.
