RABBITS FOR BRITAIN
Sir,—Regarding the letter written by “Farmer” (Hawarden) and paragraphs on the export of rabbits to Britain, the explanation given by an inspector of the Hurunui Rabbit Board about trapping may be correct in some respects; but why is it that the Acclimatisation Society is giving a royalty on tails of the rabbit’s natural enemy? Trapping in this area was abolished some 20 years ago. At that time the freezing and exporting of rabbit carcases was thought to be detrimental to the exporting of frozen meat. Those days are past. Europe urgently needs food. Every measure should be taken to assist the famine campaign. Could not trapping be permitted in North Canterbury? There surely would then be sufficient rabbits for export trade.— Yours, etc., PROGRESS. June 6, 1946.
