THE RABBIT PEST
SUCCESSFUL ERADICATION. “BUNNIES AT 44s 6d EACH!” The Tokoroa Rabbit Board, which has been in existence for about 14 years, now employs only one trapper. So thoroughly has a clearance of the pests been effected that it is usual at the meetings of the board for the trapper to report that only about nine rabbits had been caught during the month.
Reporting on the control of the rabbit pest in the territory of the East Waikato Rabbit Board during the past year, the inspector, Mr E. Lord, said that for the quarter ended April 30, rabbits numbering 1946 had been caught over the board’s area of 146,Q3O acres. On the basis of the board’s total expenditure for this period each rabbit had cost 44s 6d to destroy.
