Tonight, a rabbit is dying.

He was dumped in a relative's backyard when his owners no longer wanted him. We went today to set out a trap in the hopes of catching him, baited with a variety of bunny delicacies.

A hawk tried to carry him off right in front of us. After a struggle, he escaped, but we were unable to catch him and could not find where he ran to hide.

This cute little lionhead is now dying, wedged under a porch or a bush somewhere, licking his wounds. If some other predator, attracted by the scent of blood, does not take him, the wounds from the hawk's talons will abscess, and the infection will kill him anyway.
