WTF do you think a fence will stop a burrowing animal for more than,

you -bury- the bottom foot of the fencing.
Won't work - at least according to the Secretary of Homeland Security.

She is on record as saying "Build a 15-foot fence and I'll show you a
rabbit
that can dig a 16-foot hole."

Or something like that - she goes on to discuss mayonnaise if I recall
correctly.


I'm trying to grow tomatoes in pots. The pots are tall enough so that a
rabbit can't reach the plants standing on it's hind legs. The pots are
tightly surrounded by chicken wire that is closed at the top. There are

no
openings bigger than the chicken wire openings. It is electrified by an
electric fence gizmo. Something is still eating my new plants. I

didn't
even suspect the squirrels. Now I'm suspecting mice.

I was trying to grow some grass for my dog to roll around in. The

rabbits
kept eating the new sprouts all the way to the ground. I shot one from
about 50' in the rear thigh with a BB gun pumped only three times. It

died.
I was just trying to scare it away. I suspect a pellet gun would be

more
than adequate. Last year the rabbits ate my tomato plants. Instead of
eating the leaves or tomatoes they chew off the main stalk at ground

level,
thus destroying their food supply. I think the tomato plants are

smarter
than the rabbits.


The rabbits are Democrats silly, I thought everyone knew that.


That makes sense, but I thought they were jackasses. I guess rabbits look
like jackasses to. I'll have to take another look at their logo.


Na, Jackalopes. Mutant Democrats.
