Bunnies Attacking Cars? [VIDEO]: Rabbits Cut Car Wires at Denver International Airport

Rabbits have been causing a lot of trouble in the parking lots at the Denver International Airport. The adorable rodents are getting into the electrical wiring under the hoods of parked cars and chewing threw wires causing hundred and sometimes thousands of dollars in damage. The airport has had the USDA Wildlife Service remove more than 100 bunnies each month because of the complaints.

Airport shuttle driver, Michelle Anderson, describes what she witnesses on a daily basis with the following statement: 

"I see at least dozens every morning. They go hide under the cars and the cars are warm."

Wiley Faris, who works at Arapahoe Autotek and has dealt with numerous cars that have been targeted by the rascally rabbits, says, "They like to chew on the insulator portion of the ignition cables. That's what we see."

The USAirport Parking has started a campaign to keep the rabbits out of cars, but admits the following:

"It's hard to get rid of the bunnies but we're going to try as many natural things as possible."

Some tactics taken against he bunnies include:

• Coating the wires in fox or coyote urine, which can be easily be purchased at hunting shops.
• Parking companies began installing fences that disallow rabbits from burrowing under them.
• Perches have been built to attract eagles and hawks, A.K.A. a bunny's worst nightmare.

Airport officials have stated that they are not responsible for wild animals such as rabbits destroying personal property in the parking lot. This means it is up to the car owner to cover the damage costs. Unfortunately, most insurance companies do not cover rabbit damage.

This is not the only animal incident at an airport, though. Last July a wandering bull terrorized Phu Bai Airport in Vietnam. The bull was tranquilized after 2 days of roaming around the airport, which was closed due to the animal's presence. It also apparently killed an elderly villager before being captured and dying itself. The woman's death was not proven to be related to the bull, though. Luckily for the Denver International Airports, these rabbits will not attack anyone, as they are generally skittish and jumpy around humans. What is scary is that the possibility of an important wire being chewed apart is likely. These reports state that the bunnies prefer the electrical wiring, which does not have any dire effects, but perhaps their appetites will change to something like a break line. Crazy.
