Athletic Fields at the University of Victoria have been damaged by about 150 feral rabbits, causing a potential hazard for student athletes. As a result university officials have decided to round up the rabbits and have them sterilized and relocated.

The plan is to create rabbit free zones around the school and reduce the rabbit population to a manageable level.
