The Rabbit Advocacy Group was recently contacted by the World Society for the Protection of Animals regarding an inquiry they had received about how to humanely manage a population of feral rabbits on an island. Further information elicited was that it was in reference to the rabbits living on Robben Island. We did a search and found that there are estimated to be 4,000 – 5, 000 of these critters! CapeNature, responsible for biodiversity conservation in the area, prohibits the live removal of the European rabbit. Regarded as an exotic invasive species, South Africa does not want rabbits released anywhere on the mainland, fearing a "catastrophic event" similar to Australia's invasion of rabbits. Evidently there have been many previous offers of rescue for not only the rabbits, but other wildlife, but other than a worsening situation, there has been little change. The day-to-day suffering and death among the various species is taking its toll. True to human form, there's the usual bickering, fighting, and politics at play among various groups and officials, instead of an efficient collaboration to save the animals.
