New York has banned just about every animal other than dogs, cats, and chickens, haven't they? I understand the issues in a city that densely populated but I'm not sure that's the way to fix it. I am surprised they banned rabbits, as some people raise them for meat, and I always thought they were supportive of that, in deference to the immigrant neighborhoods.
But it's true that a lot of dopes buy bunnies and them dump them when they're not cute anymore :/. I just don't think a ban is going to fix that.
