Slaughter of Rabbits Across Connecticut
Two weeks of light snow have killed thousands of rabbits in Connecticut. Current law allows ferret hunting but bans guns until January 10. Hunters near Litchfield caught 100 rabbits in one day, while near Wilton another group netted 46. A farmer kept about a dozen rabbits for later release after the prohibition resumes. A Norwalk city engineer surveyed a 2900 acre game preserve near Danbury for a Chicago magnate, noting abundant game and tracks, with reports of wild cats and paw prints from locals.
