Rabbits are pests because they cause considerable ecological damage.
Rabbits eat the vegetation which supports native wildlife, and they eat far more of it than native animals do. In addition, rabbits breed faster than native animals do, meaning more of them can cause damage very quickly.
Because rabbits will eat native vegetation right down to the roots, they can cause localised extinction of some native plant species. Essentially, their presence destroys native habitat, and contributes to the endangerment of native species. In Australia, rabbit burrows have caused bilby burrows to cave in, often trapping and suffocating bilbies within their own burrows.
Rabbits also have a fondness for farmer's crops, especially vegetables. This can cause economic problems for farmers, who may find perfectly good crops ruined.
In both periods of time, farmers encountered a lot of problems regarding pests and parasites. They also had to put up with a rise in unknown crop diseases.
Farmers in the West during the late 1800s faced several challenges, including falling crop prices due to overproduction and competition. They also struggled with high costs for transportation and equipment, compounded by exploitative practices from railroads and lenders. Additionally, adverse weather conditions, such as droughts and pests, further hindered their ability to maintain profitable yields. These factors contributed to widespread economic hardship and discontent among farmers during this period.

Introduced species and pests, such as foxes and rabbits.
it helps control pests and diseases
Life without rabbits would mean ecosystems with disrupted food chains, as rabbits play a crucial role as prey for many predators. The loss of rabbits could also impact farmers, as they are agricultural pests but also contribute to soil health through grazing. Additionally, the absence of rabbits would affect cultural and symbolic meanings associated with these animals in various societies.
Because the pests damage the farmer's crops, causing him to lose yield and not make as much money.
Snakes can be pests as the venomous species are a danger to people who come too close or accidentally step on them. Large snakes sometimes prey on chickens, rabbits, and similar sized animals raised by farmers. However snakes can also be beneficial. Many snakes eat mice and rats that could otherwise damage crops.
