Rabbits: A million holes in one

Rabbits: A million holes in one Newsroom 8 hrs ago © Provided by Newsroom It’s no secret the rabbit population is taking off - again - in Central Otago and Southland, with some landowners struggling to keep their numbers down. But are government departments the worst offenders? It’s a catchcry all over the rabbit-infested regions of Otago and Southland  - that public spaces are to blame for the recent explosion in numbers. Individual landowners are responsible for keeping their rabbit populations down, but Crown-owned areas are being accused of letting their numbers spiral out of control. Parks, gardens, lakefronts, bike tracks: they’re all overrun, and provide the ideal breeding ground for rabbits, who then hop and dig their way onto neighbouring private properties and businesses, destroying the landscape with holes, eating all the vegetation, leaving their urine and droppings everywhere, and attracting predators.
