The wabbit kicked the bucket…

Slashdot is arguably one of the world’s most famous websites. As a provider of news for nerds and the intellectual set, Australia doesn’t rate a mention very often, but we got a mention with this:

Australian Farmers Told To Dynamite Rabbits

The South Australian Environment Department has told farmers that they should use poison gas or even explosives to deal with the out-of-control rabbit population. Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization Invasive Animals chief Professor Tony Peacock, owner of the largest business card ever, says that blowing up rabbits isn’t as inhuman as people might think, and has been ranked by the RSPCA as one of the best ways to destroy warrens.

Honestly. This is the animal welfare equivalent of a ‘Hey, Hey It’s Saturday’ skit.
