39. The Bunny Bash: A Lethal Legacy in Eastern Idaho

In this episode of the Lethal Library, hosts Dani and Stephanie delve into the wild history of Idaho's infamous 'Bunny Bash' of 1981. This isn't your typical true crime tale - think less murder mystery, more mass rabbit eradication. As Eastern Idaho farmers faced a literal invasion of crop-devouring jackrabbits, they resorted to brutal measures to protect their livelihood, leading to the clubbing of over 100,000 rabbits. The episode touches on the ecological impact, public outcry from animal rights activists, and the controversial methods used. Tune in to hear about farmers on horseback, the aftermath of the jackrabbit invasion, and the surprising disappearance of these relentless rodents by the following year.Contact The Lethal Library at [email protected].
