The rabbits that are currently a national pest in Australia are the same species as the domesticated rabbit, both descended from the wild European rabbit. Because so many people think of rabbits as a disposable pet, and some people irresponsibly abandon them on the streets or in the wild when unwanted, banning pet rabbits completely in portions of Australia is understandable. One unspayed rabbit can have an average litter of 4 every 30 days.
