RABBITS 1859
Why Rabbits were introduced
Rabbits, similar to other pest species were introduced when Europeans first settled in Australia(the first fleet) for two main reasons; the domestical rabbit was introduced to provide early settlers with a ready source of meat, and the wild rabbit was later introduced for hunting.
who discovered rabbits
how could the infestation of rabbits been avoided
Thomas Austin released 24 wild rabbits at his Barwon Park house near Geelong in Victoria in 1859. This small population exploded to cover Victoria and New South Wales by 1886. By 1900, rabbits had reached the Northern Territory and Western Australia.By the 1920s, Australia's rabbit population had swelled to 10 billion. Now rabits cover more than 4 million square killometers of Australia.
to stop the infestation of rabbits when Thomas Austin found the 1st 24 he could have killed them instead of letting them run free because then there would not have been many now or none at all.
