RABBITS FOR BRITAIN
Sir,—ln reply to Mr J. W. Robinson. I agree he would get 100 per cent, support from trappers, but our regulations were made by the leading runholders of our district, which proves their well considered opinion was that trapping methods were useless from a destruction point of view. Certainly it would be absurd to allow trappers, who, on the pretence of getting food for Britain, are -trying to get a regulation which has proved its worth replaced by a method already tried, and proved a failure in our area I agree with “Sheepfarmer” (Hawarden) that trapping rabbits would have the same effect regarding destruction as the high value of deerskins. Most experts say there are more deer to-day than ever before in the history of New Zealand. A recent check-ui on agents buying tails of natural enemies shows that the number poached from our area is astounding.—Yours, etc., V. F. RENAUD. Chief Inspector, Hurunui Rabbit Board. June 19. 1946.
