I tend to upvote the occasional post such as this for the simple reason that I sometimes just like to increase the diversity of content.
In this case I think this also has the potential for some very HN-ish dicussion. Rabbits and foxes is a classic CS topic after all! Ecology and population dynamics leads to some interesting maths.

Understanding what it looks like when nature adapts to the changes we're making is valuable. It's like the Peppered moths in England.[1] While this specific story may have limited applicability to someone wanting to build a new cloud service business, keeping environmental impacts in mind can't hurt. Plus, bunnies. Alternately, if you want to go full "rabbits are pests and should be removed", you can always make it a business opportunity.[2] [1]: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/new-evidence-peppered-moths-changed-color-sync-industrial-revolution-180959282/ https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/new-evidence-peppe...
