Are they still doing the shooting there though or has it been canned?
The department is happy, because they enforce the 'law' that requires landowners to not allow rabbits to spread, as they are a declared pest.... If you have rabbits (or goats, pigs, foxes) you might not be allowed to shoot them, but you are REQUIRED to control them. If your close to houses,roads you may need a populous place permit (generally if the neighbours complain...)
So dont rely on the govt to see the problem and hand out permit (under firearms law) the owner has the underlying responsibility....
The department are happy... ha...good one seat-warming bureaucrats!! better the taxpayer does your job hey!
