Roving UHub photographer Christopher Wagner reports on his encounter with the Allston white rabbit:
A couple days ago I was walking to my car and spotted him again. When I crouched down to try and get a picture, he hopped right out from under the white Subaru in the picture and stopped right in front of me. I’m thinking it has to be either an escaped or released pet ‘cause he’s awful comfortable around people. Also the whole albino thing. There was another time in front of my house when he was casually munching on some plants growing between the sidewalk cracks about 10 feet from where I was standing. Not sure what’s going to happen once winter comes, I think the times they will be much sadder.
Anyway I love the fact that there is a white rabbit in Allston.

Call the Animal Rescue League?
They could live trap and find a new home for this lovely bunny, and give the story a better ending.

I worked one time
at a very well known Boston animal shelter. Most of the pets like bunnies were not adopted, and were euthanized. Sometimes they would be immediately euthanized, as soon as the child and dad/mom who brought them in, were out the door.
Maybe House Rabbit Network can help?

Why won't you name the shelter?
Because anons are generally FoS?

No 'Jeff'
I am not full of shit. What I posted is the truth. So what if I post as anonymous? How do I know who you really are, and if your name really is Jeff? Because you say it is?
No, I will not name the facility. Use your powers of deduction.
I would hope that bunny would find a home
However, one could argue that being euthanized would be more merciful to dying from injuries or infection after a rat attack or freezing and starving to death.
Not all shelters are "kill" shelters, either.
Buries Of Bunnies At MIT
There are actually quite a few feral rabbits that live at MIT. I often see them foraging next to the nuclear reactor across from Paradise:
As adorable as the little white bunny is, I worry she may not have the same urban living skills as the MIT rabbits. If not, I hope she finds a safe home too.
Foraging Next To The Nuclear Reactor?
Will you scientists never learn?

Looks like someone dumped a pet they no longer wanted. Humans can be real assholes sometimes.

"I think the times they will be much sadder."
I like this turn of phrase.
Alice? Alice? who the **** is Alice?
For twenty-four years
I've been living next door to Alice.
I still don't know who the **** is Alice.
she once had a restaurant
She cooked that white rabbit
Alice cooked that white rabbit for some guy she hooked up with named Jefferson.
Alice gets around.
She doesn't take an Airplane
But she flies.
but
She doesn't live there anymore.
She moved to Phoenix to work at a divey place called "Mel's Diner"

Imrie Street area?
I know there is or was a bunny sanctuary on Imrie St. If so, this is probably one of theirs (maybe it got out?). It's the house across from the red house...
Yes, a neighborhood white bunny is cute, but...
... if this little guy really is a dumped pet, it probably won't survive the winter. Swirly is right-- is anyone does see it again, please call ARL before it gets too cold.
Adorable!
Feed your head
He would have done more to help the rabbit other than take its picture, but his mind was moving slow.
That's no ordinary rabbit,
That's no ordinary rabbit, mate! A creature so foul, so cruel that no man has fought with it and lived! Bones of full fifty men lay strewn about its lair, so brave knights, if you do doubt your courage, or your strength, come nae further, for DEATH awaits you all with nasty, sharp pointy teeth!
Someone better catch him and save him.
With the number of rats in Allston someone better catch this beautiful creature before the rats or winter gets him. Real jerks letting him loose.
free rabbit!
This little guy has been living on the street since the end of August. Multiple residents of the neighborhood have tried (and failed) to catch him. He or she came from a house where there were many rabbits, and I think the ARL got the others, but this one wanted to be free!
The residents of this Allston neighborhood feed it and I think it should be allowed to be free if that's what it wants. There are plenty of rabbits living free in Boston, why does this one have to be trapped?
And regarding that earlier comment about why the anon didn't name the shelter - I think it's completely understandable, since they probably don't want people to think less of the shelter. Euthanizing rabbits is a sad fact of life in animal shelters. They do breed....
It's Little Bunny Foo Foo....
......coming to BOP you on the head :)
