Me to. I believe I saw an old film where'd they'd have like a social gathering event. I think they'd string-up a long fence like net and then coral all those hares into the net and everyone would run in and club them to death.
When the ever expanding prarie dog colony behind me spreads out to a certain point the man with the big specialty designed vacuum truck gets a call. He sucks them outta their hole and in the back of the tank they shoot into a trampoline type net so they don't get knocked out. Some go to be relocated to other open spaces and some go to the Denver zoo as food for the Hyenas.
Yeah that's right. I tried to find it but couldn't. It used to be one of the first videos to pop up in a search. Not hard to guess why its so hard to find now. It used to be on our govt pest animal site too. Too nasty for sooky la la's to see.
Yeah I believe that's what the video was about. Sportsmen introduced bunny's to hunt and it then it went way out of control, so they came up with a new sport of bunny rabbit genocide. Interesting I saw a show last night how they are doing genetic manipulation to bring back the Tasmanian tiger, because they got hunted into extinction. That would be awesome if that can be done. Your lands don't need any of our bunny's what so ever imo. Seems to me the way your folks eliminated them was a good way without the use of poison and shooting and trapping as many as you could probably wouldn't have put a dent in the problem. I just saw an evasive Japanese beatle in my garden today. I just went in the house got some needle nose pliers to crush that rock solid little bugger. I'm seeing such an increase in those. My youngest daughter probably would've thought me a cruel sob had she seen what I'd done to that bug. Neighbor lady probably thought the same of me.
Yeah the Tassie Tiger was sad. Farmers thought it was killing livestock but wasn't, just caught eating an already dead sheep here n there. Their love of open spaces contributed to their demise also so they say. Easy to hunt apparently. We are lucky our Wedgetail Eagle didn't go down the same path. It nearly did from over zealous farmers thinking that seeing one here n there feeding on a dead lamb carcass, that in reality died from frost, was killing the lambs.
