Look. Feral critters may be a problem for you. But they don't cause that much hassle here in the valley. Maybe there just aren't that many of them. More of a problem are the poachers who keep shooting the deer.

Well, although I hate to admit it here, I've shot all sorts of feral animals. Cats, dogs, rabbits and foxes pretty much. I've clubbed cane toads to death by the hundred.

Ferral animals upset the balance of the natural ecosystem and should be erradicated where ever possible in my opinion.

besides, rabbits taste good cooked on a spit over a campfire.

Yes but rabbit isn't feral in your part of the world.

They actually don't fit the traditional mold of feral though. More like nuisance introduced species. Bloody dopey pommies importing rabbits and foxes just so they could go and do their bloody elitist sports.

True. My neices' rabbits escaped from their pen...they were found up the hill, through the woods (which the back garden just kind of trails into) and into the guy up the lane's back garden/vegetable plots.

Aliantha · 08-09-2007, 07:02 AM

ok, so they sometimes go feral?

DanaC · 08-09-2007, 07:46 AM

Well....I think generally when a house rabbit goes missing it ends up either getting recaught, or killed by a fox, long before it acquires the status of feral:P There mayhave been an odd one though.

Makes no sense, just wipe them out... what is the issue?
We have that problem here with pigs, cats, those fucking ducks... don't want them dead, bring them into your home.

What about breaking the cycle of violence?
