Adapted from Robert Whitcomb's "Digital Diary,'' in GoLocal24.com:

I noted a while back the proliferation of rabbits in Providence. Well, the same thing’s happening in Boston, including downtown.

One Boston Globe reader suggested that a partial explanation might be the use of less toxic fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides in lawn and shrub areas these days. And maybe fewer feral cats (I hope!). Will the  bunny population explosion lead to an increase in killing rabbits for food, albeit not at French levels? 

But they're so cute!
