       They are a perennial problem, Daniela. Farmers allow lots of shooters onto their properties for `sport'. Also there are attempts at mass poisonings although this can often impact on other farm animals. The CSIRO (heard of that body?) have tried many biological controls on rabbits and other noxious pests. It's a hard battle to win. Australia is awfully vast and the rabbits breed too quickly. They're not as important for the momentÿas the cane toad problem has spread to Northern NSW and the Northern T
erritory from Queensland. Now that's a Pest!
