jiggy 3,209 Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 I like the way they throw in the link that man tried catching rabbits for dinner as if he was part of the problem. These are government lab created diseases. They will eventually make one to cull humans when population spikes. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Meece 1,958 Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 This isnt exactly new new up to date news. For several years I have seen odd rabbits just laying dead with no obvious sign of a reason why. They're just laying there like a soft tòy. Some years there are so many rabbits that it's like a Hessian sack being dragged in and then none. It's not as if there are bodies laying everywhere. It's just like they moved somewhere else. I've seen myxy outbreaks where there are so many fallen laying around that the Charlies don't eat them. They'd rather have kfc. One day there will be a human pandemic that will decimate humanity,,,,,, worldwide. It happened with the Spanish flue and maybe the black death. We mange Ebola a bit but no doubt one day our number will come up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bobtheferret 1,252 Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 Not being funny but this is not new news, RVHD2 has been over here since 2014 and you only need to see the number of topics on the lurcher or ferreting forums on this very site to realise it’s had an effect on rabbit numbers. There’s also maps been drawn up of suspected/confirmed cases bought into vets etc and it’s pretty much completely widespread across the country. It’s been in aus and nz for longer and rabbits formed an reasonable immunity in a (relatively for a virus) short time of 10- 15 years so very much fingers crossed in another 5-10 years ours do to.
