Rabbits drive spurs Geraldton district for coop action
Reports from northern farming areas show a growing farmer awareness of the rabbit menace. Large kills in holdings illustrate the scale, with up to 40 000 rabbits destroyed in one farm and thousands more on others. Road boards will unite in a district wide drive, urging cooperative poisoning and coordinated cleanup to prevent spread and protect agricultural stability. Publicity in the Geraldton Guardian notes poisoned cats as a proven method and stresses neighbour cooperation, with enforcement powers available if needed.
