keep up the good work then lol

I can see what's coming next, I hope I'm wrong.

Reading the article it says the figures come from people out birdwatching Now I’m in no doubt whatsoever that throughout the uk rabbit numbers are down as a rabbit hunter myself I am noticing this however I don’t believe there is any cause for alarm. There are always cycles in population and in a few years time I’m confident there will be rabbits everywhere again.

I'd say the numbers are up here, I've seen an definite increase. There are no predators here though, they did away with the mink and we never had fox so only the eagles are a natural predator. We'll have to round them up and ship them back over to the mainland.

I fully agree with you regarding natural cycles, but man has attempted to wipe out bunny almost since they were brought here for food, I watched a program recently were they said there were now two new viruses wiping them out as well as mixy, round here the exploding badger population continues to wipe out more big buries every year so I do think mans influence is breaking natures cycle which is alarming as many animals depend on the rabbit for there survival  and an eco system without its main food supply is pretty fecked, hope I ,m wrong

The cynic in me says a government led disease to say rabbits are endangered so let's put them on the list of banned fieldsports.

The Worlds gone mad and the country is at a crossroads on many levels .

Just take a look around as you go about your daily business.

Weeds growing everywhere at kerbsides ' pathways ' traffic islands ect.

Then they spray chemicals off the back of quads then folk drag it into their homes on their shoes.

Worse still kids having to play amongst it maybe dropping sweets and popping them in their mouths and they wonder why cancer is thru the roof.

Roundup case in USA just awarded a council cancer victim millions due to being exposed to such chemicals .

Lazy greedy government and councils need to get a grip and employ council workers to get rid of weeds ect by a bit of graft with a shovel 

If they saying they can't afford it get offenders back on community service doing it or long term unemployed doing a Day per week for their benefits ect.

Its a fecking bad dangerous joke ffs.

agree mate, get them on a chain gang out of their cells, away from complaining about the outdated PlayStation 2 not being good enough cheeky yoyos, overgrown areas, graffiti etc plenty to go at

plenty of bunnys where I live

[stumfelter 3,034]

I think the decline in rabbits is down to people who use fast dogs like greyhounds etc to chase and catch them. I have heard they also use high powered lamps at night to blind the rabbits to make them easier to catch and they call it sport. What is going on in their twisted minds?

Why would anyone worry, the Government has been trying to get rid of rabbits forever and we are still legally obliged to control them.
