Rabbit Breeding Proposal Sparks Legislative Debate
In the Legislative Assembly last week Mr Frank Burke urged promoting rabbit breeding to feed people while dissenting country members pushed for eradicating rabbits. Mr R L Fitzgerald asked the Agriculture Minister to secure more strychnine to destroy rabbits. Mr R B Nott noted rabbits eat as much grass as two sheep and argued fewer rabbits would let more sheep run. Dunn agreed with Nott and said strychnine was scarce but efforts are under way to obtain more.
