RABBIT CONTROL
BIG WAIROA KILLS RABBIT SHOT IN WHAKATANE Members of the .East .Coast Rabbit Board were informed at their monthly meeting that since the previous report 316 rabbits and 55 runners had been killed in the Wairoa district.
Inspector H. Burgess, YVhakatane district, reported a satisfactory state of affairs. .. Only seven rabbits had been discovered during the month. Rabbits had been reported on the Wainui block, but .an .inspection there failed to yield any signs. An odd trace was encountered on the river flats at Te Teko. The report of a rabbit having been seen on Otoko Hill had been investigated without result.
“A rabbit was running around the streets of Whakatane,”. stated .the chief inspector. “I shot it, and I have no doubt it was a pet liberated. .It was a young doe, earmarked.”
