Thread: New Rabbit virus to be introduced next Autumn

This sort of animal abuse should be reported to the SPCA, If they took off the restrictions on selling rabbits for human consumption that would go a long way towards controlling them it works in the UK
there are wild game retail outlets all over the place selling rabbits hares venison and game birds the hunters are making a good living out of it,

I don't know about a good living? But yes some do make a living.
If a get a load of pigeons then they go off to the game dealers...pays for a few cartages.....if I shot better it pay for its self last years prices where £0.20 for frozen £0.30 for fresh.
Venison you have to have done the course to sell it to the game dealer....the course cost you around £290.00 so you will need to shoot a lot to get that back. Not sure on beast prices, the same for rabbits.
You can pick up a barce of pigeon at the local butcher for around £4.50 not sure on pheasants etc.
The down side to this is the pouching
For get your image of a cartoon pouchier....... They are thieving bar stands
