My cousin has an allotment, where there are a lot of rabbits, I was very upset to find out that he was planning to go and shoot rabbits at the allotment...
I was furious as you can imagine. I posted on his FB post (where he had stated he would be shooting them) and said it was completely unacceptable to shoot innocent animals and that there would be females with babies to get back to and he would be probably shooting mothers...
he came back with ''Rabbits are vermin, they carry diseases and only breed in the winter''
I mean, seriously?
I told him that they breed all year round and he said ''They are the most fertile in the winter so they have had their babies by the summer'' what the hell?
I mean as if its not disgraceful enough that you are considering going to shoot rabbits for no good reason, you haven't got a bloody clue what you are talking about!? You know I find a lot of people like hunters have no understanding of the animals they are killing at all, they really couldn't give a damn as long as they get to kill something!
