The rabbits eat much of the sparse vegetation that supports Australia's huge sheep and cattle industry, and the graziers are suffering enormous financial losses.
If rabbits were never introduced into Australia they would not be an epidemic for that country.
They are not natives to Australia, 12 of them were brought there several years ago, and they bred extremely fast. So fast, in fact, that between legal extermination and natural predators, they could not be slowed down.
