The Vancouver Parks Board says people visiting Jericho Beach as Easter approaches should avoid touching feral rabbits that populate the beach's grassy areas.
The board says the Jericho bunnies might be enticing with their fluffy tails, but handling and feeding them is not a good idea.
It says the feral rabbits are an invasive species, many descended from pets that escaped or were discarded by their one-time owners.
The board says many bunnies are bought as Easter gifts, only to be abandoned, and people should avoid interacting with the animals and just admire them from a distance.
