Then I guess you also aren't going to try to introduce predators to control them?
For the rabbits? It's kinda too late. Foxes and cats are both introduced species that hunt them, but the little buggers breed fast. Pretty literally, they breed like rabbits. :)

We introduced a disease to control them. (Myxomatosis - RSPCA South Australia)
It initially wiped out most of the rabbits, but not all. And the survivors became increasingly resistant, whilst the disease became gradually milder.
Now, most wild rabbits are largely unaffected, but it can kill pet rabbits in less than 2 weeks.

It's funny how poorly humans have managed to control species. Well...funny might not be the right word. Consistently crap?

And now they've mutated to enjoy human flesh.

Funny, but fake.
Drop bears, on the other hand, are a much more real threat. No one is even sure when that mutation occurred!!

I had no idea Mr InBetween was international...well there ya go.

But our most famous period of gangsters would be our bushrangers...guys like Ned Kelly.
Earlier in the 20th century it was people like Squizzy Taylor. And more recently, people like the Carlton Crew.

You say they're fake, but we can't trust you.
After all, you guys actually claim that these are real...

You call those "gansters"?
Here, they'd be cops.

Kent Hovind is a homegrown criminal. Ken Hamster is the Australian exile. I wish that they would take him back. And Ray Comfort too. I know, I know he is from New Zealand.
Oops, my bad. Mixed them up. Ken Ham has at least going for him that he isn't a convicted criminal (though he should be and he tried some tax fraud).
