Rabbits are a pest, plain and simple. I live in a suburb of Chicago... it's not like I live in the forest or countryside and have deer and other wildlife in my backyard. Most of the time you see a rabbit around here it's dead because it's been nailed by a car. They seem to eat anything and everything green that they can reach. After I found out that the rabbits were eating my flowers, I put up a plastic fence around the flowers. The rabbits then chewed through the plastic fence to get to my flowers... They may look cute and cuddley, but they are very destructive animals. They have also chewed through the wood surrounding my deck in order to get under it.
I'm sure that if I said I found an insect burrow of termites in my backyard, and was going to destroy them, no one would care.
Rabbits are only a pest if you let them be. You can take measures to keep them from eating your things, like feeding them rabbit food.
