These are vicious creatures that hunt in packs across the open prairie. Cowboy scouts are constantly on the lookout for the telltale signs of jackalope activity -- mutilated cattle carcasses with the eyes and soft parts neatly excised. Whenever a tribe suspects that it is entering jackalope territory, the pastors perform complex purification rituals that have been handed down over the generations as the surest means of keeping jackalopes away. And, thankfully, the rituals always work. Nobody who has performed the ritual properly has ever been attacked by jackalopes.
