Thread: Sydney irony with a rabbit explosion

Oh I was so disappointed, I thought Australia was suffering from exploding rabbit syndrome.

Sydney Morning Herald article

Populations of wild rabbits have exploded across Sydney in recent months, with plenty of rain meaning there is more vegetation for feeding and raising breeding rates.

Councils and landowners now face the difficulty of culling rabbit numbers, with a highly contagious virus the solution of choice.

However, the solution is controversial because it also can infect and kill domestic rabbits.

In such a gun friendly state.

Seems a similar problem to Invercargill City Council, who will poison them, because no-one thinks they can be shot safely.
