A professor from the University of Calgary is warning the public about a fast-moving disease that has killed many of Calgary's feral rabbits.
Dr. Jennifer Davies says Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease is highly contagious and can wipe out large numbers of the animal in just a few days.
Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease was first spotted in British Columbia in 2018 and made it's way into Alberta in 2021. "They're highly susceptible – and given the nature of this virus and the high mortality rates associated with it – we can expect to see pretty significant mortalities in this naive population."Amanda and Rosemary Greening started Against All Odds Rabbit Rescue in 2012.
"We do get a lot of messages from the public, we get a lot of pictures from the public, just trying to figure out where it's going and how fast it's moving.""I know at Nose Hill Park, there were about 50 to 60 rabbits there and there's like one left" she said. "I don't even know if it's still there.. and that was just in a matter of days.
