"If I catch one, I'm not going to haul it across town and release it like Wife wants, I will use it for compost; maybe plant a pumpkin on top of its shallow grave instead of putting it in the compost pile."
Ah, yes. Recapturing / recycling the nitrogen the rabbit stole from your veggies in the first place. Maybe that scientific logic will change spousie's mind.

Heck, some of them are even solar-powered.
