The Rabbit Export Debate and Rabbit Meat Trade
A metropolitan weekly notes Hobie as a viable product, while Weddell's figures highlight Australian rabbit imports to a hungry nation. The piece cites J Bull’s high daily rabbit intake, compares 1900 to 1904 rabbit and sheep tonnages, and argues against halting rabbit exports unless sheep and mutton would rise to compensate. It questions Danyez’s ability to eliminate 49 147 tons in two years, per Dr Tidawell, and suggests the risk of turning rabbit carcases into waste while other catches remain profitable.
