Rabbits were first introduced to New Zealand in 1860 – and without natural predators, soon nearly overrun the country. These things breed like bunnies.
Possum is another pest. The country is trying to get behind possum products “so that it becomes financially viable for hunters to trap the possum and reduce their numbers and help save NZ’s environment.” The big thing is “Merino Mink“, a blend of possum fur and merino wool. (Check out Possum Pam, a Kiwi who using possum products for everything from nipple warmers to fur hats and caps).
Anyway, there’s also a big push on to create a market for rabbit products. These little animals may look cute and cuddly, but there are questions of economics involved. A few more weeks and — rabbit stew.

I like rabbits too. But if there are too many of them then we may as well do something so they don’t take over.

I like eating rabbit because it is good. What is the difference between a cow and a rabbit?
