British Columbia has been battling an outbreak of rabbit hemorrhagic disease.

It is a terrible disease and many rabbits have died or would have died horribly if they had not be euthanized. The animal shelters seem to be the hardest hit by the virus.

There is good news however. There is a vaccine and it is available in BC now.

This is a scary thing. Who knows what the consequences would be if the wild rabbits became infected and died. How would that  effect the food chain.

For people with pet rabbits it must be terrifying. Once they get sick there is nothing you can do. The only hope is vaccination. 
It is fortunate the vaccine has arrived. I hope they can bring this under control.
