Would negotiate costs with anyone interested.

We found our pet rabbit disembowelled, leaving a big hole, which were covered in straw, with her feet either gnawed or cut off. A really terrible end to a female, who had just given birth to two bunnies. We live in Maunu and to the rear of our garden are trees/bush, with the usual wild life. … View moreWe found our pet rabbit disembowelled, leaving a big hole, which were covered in straw, with her feet either gnawed or cut off. A really terrible end to a female, who had just given birth to two bunnies. We live in Maunu and to the rear of our garden are trees/bush, with the usual wild life. Does anyone have any idea what could have done this, so we can set the appropriate traps, so this can't happen again. Thank you in advance.

It's harnessing human competitiveness to explain the major contributors to greenhouse emissions, the actions the world could take to avoid climate catastrophe, and the wider benefits of greener energies.
For serious play and education, set aside 30 to 40 minutes of quiet and uninterrupted time. I thought I was reasonably well-informed about climate breakdown, and while I was quite happy with my result, I was surprised at what I got wrong and how much I still could learn from a simple yet effective game like this.
