Title: Rabbits run riot in the French countryside (Ptarmigan was right!)

A plague of rabbits is devastating crops and community relations in France, where lawsuits are flying as farmers, hunters and landowners blame each other for failing to keep the population in check.

Amid mounting anger and destruction on a scale unknown for 30 years, cereal farmers are being advised to sue neighbours who allow wild rabbits to proliferate. In one case that sparked controversy this month, a hunter was ordered to pay €1,439 (£1,134) in damages to two farmers after a court ruled that he had not shot enough rabbits in his woods.

Ptarmy in 3...2...1...   :-)

On a side note...  Rabbits almost made me shoot my dad once.  We had a den of them living in our back yard, and they where wreaking all sorts of havok on our garden.  So he and I go out one night to quell their numbers and get a decent dinner for the next day.

I was about 20 paces ahead of my dad when I see one dart to the right of me, I swing around and track it with my shotgun, trying to lead it when I realize that I've spun a whole 180 degree's and I'm now pointing the shotgun at my father with my finger on the trigger.  Fortunately, I realized my error quickly enough to advert disaster, but I was onto that rabbits game.  Evil bastard.

We decided to call it a night after that incident.  The rabbits slept safely in their beds.

Rabbits and hares have been known to compete with ptarmigans when it comes to food. This has lead to war.

Anyways, all bunnies will rot in Hell. God will get them.  :evillaugh:

Next time, call in the ptarmigans.

Also, get God involved. He will rain down fire and brimstone on bunnies.  :evillaugh:

I dunno, I'd think that might be kinda tough on the cereal crops as well as the bunnies.

They are behind the food shortage. The current food shortage is a plot by bunnies.
