    (#10) Many Of The Rabbits Are Ill Or Injured From Tourism

    According to Margo DeMello, president of the rescue group House Rabbit Society, the food, interaction, and carelessness of some visitors leaves the rabbits with injuries and ailments. Rabbits require fiber that they naturally find in roots, seeds, and leaves. Unfortunately, many people visiting Rabbit Island bring foods only bunnies in stories eat, such as cabbage, carrots, or regular lettuce. Although some rabbits can tolerate carrots on rare occasions, the cabbage is nigh indigestible for the creatures.

    Along with food-related illness, they can suffer from respiratory illnesses caught from their proximity to humans. Those not suffering from the effects are struck down by tourists driving cars and being unable to avoid one of the hundreds of rabbits tearing across the island in search of humans and food.
