A hare runs on Linate airport runway as it tries to escape during a 3-hour hunt that was carried out at the airport of Milan, Italy, in the early hours of Sunday, June 17, 2007. The airport was forced to close between 5 and 8 a.m. and 12 flights were rescheduled, as 200 volunteers used some 4 kilometers of nets in order to capture the hares and move them to a safe haven. During the operation, which became necessary as the presence of the hares - grown more numerous due to a mild winter - were disturbing the ground control radar. Over 50 hares were captured.(AP Photo/Alberto Pellaschiar)
