Funny to hear there are so many rabbits in your area. At our place (el pinell de brai) there is hardly a rabbit left. When we came here in 2006 we did see rabbits a few times every week, but now we see more mountaingoats then rabbits. Don't know what happend but it is not because of the hunting, there are not that much hunters overhere. Mark Maybe the goats have eaten the vegetation the rabbits would normally feed on. Goats destroy the land. My goats don't destroy my land ???

Not talking about 2 or 3 pets, in a pen, I'm talking about wild goats or goats put out to pasture in the garrigue. Anywhere goats have been local flora and fauna suffers.
