Denver, Co. travelers with parked cars near Denver International Airport may want to double-check their brake lines because rabbits may have chewed them. Yes, local rabbits are eating through brake lines, clutch lines and wiring of cars parked near DIA.

CBS4 reports that this problem has been ongoing since 1999, when rabbits were eating through wires on de-icing equipment. Since then, the DIA has combated the rabbits with coyote urine, fencing and has even called the United States Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services to patrol the area.

“When I had the trouble with the oil light coming on, the dealer told me the wires that controlled the air conditioning were chewed,” said Ken Blum to CBS4.

Safe braking, and avoid rabbits if you can.
