For non-vegetarians, it is also a shame, because rabbits are really delicious.

This makes me wonder: I saw no exemption in that article of owning rabbits for meat production, so does that mean that down under, there is no rabbit on any restaurant's menu?

Pretty sure I've eaten rabbit in a restaurant in Australia, but I am sure it was wild rabbit.

I remember as a child in Australia eating a lot of rabbit. My father would hunt them and Mum's speciality was curried rabbit. I used to love it.

They really are vermin in Australia. Ever time I see a rabbit in Europe I have an almost visceral desire to kill it. Growing up in rural Australia I've seen first hamd the damage they can do if left unchecked.

If God didn't mean for you to eat people, he wouldn't have made people of meat. Same goes for rabbits, too.
