| For the Bunny family there was much reason for each side to make their argument. Stephen King had always taken a special interest in protecting the Bunny colony. Sure they lost members. It was a sad fact of nature. Plus they were quite aware that SK loved rabbit more than anything else. But you see he was a very wise old predator. He knew that during the summer months the hunting would be plentiful. It was during the cold winter months that it became very hard to find food. If a cat had a supply of fresh, healthy rabbits to get through those awful times it would be of great help. So the wise old predator did not kill the colony of rabbits when they were young and extremely vulnerable. Instead he protected them! All the other cats were on notice. Kill a bunny and you answer to Stephen King! As mentioned it was a very complex relationship. Nobody ever wanted to mention it but truth told it was a horrible but wise choice to keep SK in their lives during the summer months in trade for knowing he would be hunting them come winter. You see, as hard as it was to take such a sterile approach to their lives, Fuddy wisely played the odds. Statistics prove that the average life span of a wild rabbit is two to nine years. The majority of which never reach adulthood. Fuddy had a much better record. Nearly all his colony made it to at least adulthood and many were now on their fourth or fifth year. Fuddy was on his seventh year! No small feat for a wild rabbit. So the Bunny colony enjoyed an existence which was far better and far longer-lived than others of their species. Yes they lost members but not as bad as other colonies. next page |  |
