#1 Um, how about the obvious killing of them? I can set here all night thinking of ways to do it. But it being the UK some wooly headed protect our rabbit friends group will go to the law courts and put a stop to all of it.

#4 Red Dog is a feature not a bug. I am lucky that a certain character works at all. I guess I should try and fix it but I think it's something under the hood here at the Burg.

#7 The article states that some people are calling for the reintroduction of Myxomatosis. Bad idea. Supposedly this disease only kills rabbits; but germs mutate and the disease could attack other species.

#10 Re-introduce the native ferrets, weasels and foxes. Predation will quickly bring the problem down to manageable levels. Or else allow the local woodsmen to set snares like they used to do in the old days.

#12 I always wondered why it was referred to as a "lucky rabbit's foot" for your key chain. Since it had to be killed first.
On our farm growing up I used to skin the rabbits, and the meat is pretty tasty,
tastes like chicken. :)

#15 My family raised rabbits when I was a kid. It supplemented the annual steer we butchered, the chickens, pigs, and ducks we raised, the fish we caught, and the deer, ducks, and other small game animals we brought home from hunting trips. We almost never bought meat, eggs, butter, or milk.

I can think of sixty or seventy ways to snare, catch, kill, or otherwise get rid of excess rabbits. The first thing to do, however, is to catch all the PETA members and lock them in a cage with 2000 wild rabbits for a few weeks. Then you can get rid of the rest of the excess rabbit population without interference.
