Dear Ministry for Primary Industries,

Could you please provide the latest scientific and independently peer-reviewed report on the damage to native plants caused by wild rabbits.

How does this damage compare to the damage caused by sheep, agriculture and other grazing farm animals in the same habitat?

Has the effect and impact of wild rabbit control on companion rabbits and their owners been evaluated and what is the result of that evaluation?

Has the health impact of the loss of a companion rabbit on its owner due to wild rabbit control been evaluated?

How much is the control of feral rabbits driven by farming lobby groups and how many communications and monies from these lobby groups been received?

What independent scientific and peer reviewed report on the dangers on the release of Rabbit Haemorrhagic Virus into the environment has been undertaken.

What controls are in place to uncover and eradicate the illegal use of cutting up and spreading infected rabbit carcasses (know as vitamix) across large expanses of land.

Yours faithfully,

Gary Stephenson
