Town losing fight against rabbit invasion

THEY are cute, they are furry - and they have a sleepy country town under siege.
Thousands of rabbits have invaded the NSW Upper Hunter town of Aberdeen, eating crops, nibbling on flower gardens and burrowing under building foundations.

Residents say numbers are greater than at any time in the past 40 years, The Daily Telegraph reports.

Farm-hand Ken Smith, 54, said he had never seen rabbits in such destructively high numbers.

Rabbit families have dug warrens right up to the walls of his house, under his front path, around storage sheds and below the water tank.

Even in the middle of the day, dozens of them graze casually in his front yard, retreating to the safety of their burrows at the first sign of any danger.

"You don't even bother trying to grow anything any more because the mongrels will just go for it," Mr Smith said.

Sounds like it's time for some traps and rabbit stew..... (or fried rabbit, if you want)

See what happens when you confiscate weapons.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin
