Destructive Rabbits

Damn rabbits had a field day in the vegetable gardens today. A family of 5 rabbits pulled the lower leaves from all the sweet pepper plants in garden, chomped the first true leaves off the soybeans, and chewed through the cucumber fence. I understand eating the soybeans with their tasty virgin leaves, but I don't understand the purpose of pulling leaves off the pepper plants. Perhaps these plants were victims of a taste test for the baby bunnies.  Chewing through the cucumber fence...well, that is completely uncalled for.  Seriously, there is plenty of room for these creatures to run through the garden. Granted, they are probably preparing for a quick exit once the plants are full grown in a couple of weeks.
