Handguns are banned for the public. Shotguns and rifles are still
permitted under license. I don't know any farmers who don't own a shotgun. Around any UK airport, or Parliament, you'll see armed police. Sport shooting/hunting of game (birds, deer) is a gigantic business in the UK. We don't have any tularemia in rabbits here, so they are still eaten. You can still buy wild rabbit in many rural butcher shops. One of my farm neighbours shot 600 on his farm in one night, and sold enough of them to cover his expenses. Shot 600 in one night! Wow, he must have had them line up in front of a machine gun turret. :) I understand that in OZ you can make a decent living from killing rabbits and kangaroos. Until my father could no longer get around, saturday dinner at his house from mid-November until May was apple-fed rabbit meat. Dick |

Wow, he must have had them line up in front of a machine gun turret. :) No need; he used a method called lamping. (Also used for shooting foxes) The victims line themselves up to be shot. In the States, we call it 'jacklighting'. It's used for shooting deer from the highway. Dick |

Shooting deer from your car is, or should be, illegal everywhere. Jacklighting is very dangerous. The only place I have heard of it being legal is in Florida, but only for registered members of recognized indian tribes. After all is said and done, I have no sympathy for rabbits. Especially those who think my garden is a dinner table. Dick |
