Catch the beasties and discover the joys of a good rabbit pie or
rehouse them 20 miles away ?

Rabbit pie is fine but releasing them is an offence.

Why ???????

I'd guess because the people 20 miles away don't want a rabbit infestation
either?

Though relocation is not a particularly soft option for the rabbit anyway,
so if that is the theory, it's a bit flawed. Rabbits aren't so tough that
if you dump one in a random location 20 miles from home they will
necessarily survive. More likely it would become someone else's lunch, get
run over, or have a heart attack from the shock of the journey. Plus the
rabbit you relocate may have a litter of kittens waiting for her to come
home.

I think the only honest approaches are learning to like the rabbits, or
learn to like rabbit pie.

Pointless rabbit fact: the Normans had great difficulty introducing the
rabbit to Britain: they kept dying off and had to be pampered with great
care.
