Yesterday's paper contained a letter from Rhonda Pomerleau of Kittery, Maine. She got a massive runaround from local authorities when she tried to do the right thing for four domesticated rabbits wandering free in her neighborhood.
After a week of taking care of them I drove the rabbits myself to the Cocheco Valley Humane Society. These wonderful caring people could not believe my story. They told me to report the person who released the rabbits and to call the Animal Welfare Unit about the town's responsibilities in this situation, which I did, but to no prevail.Hey, I said, isn't that an eggcorn? I asked the Google; Rhonda's not alone in this usage, but as near as I can tell, it doesn't appear in the Eggcorn Database. I submitted it, tentatively; they're very picky.
For area residents: Rhonda's right about the Cocheco Valley Humane Society. Both our cats are adoptees from there.
