MELBOURNE Water and Nillumbik Council have dropped plans to blow up rabbits with explosive gas after warnings about fire dangers.
A joint project using “oxygen detonation technology” to destroy warrens along the Diamond Creek, between Nillumbik Park and Diamond Creek Reserve, had been due to start on Tuesday this week, the Diamond Valley Leader reports.
A public notice issued by the council had advised residents they might hear regular “muffled explosions” as far as a kilometre away.

To many Australians, a rabbit is like a rat. The rats and rabbit populations often explode together. To them it is not even considered editable. At least that was how it was back in the 60’s when I lived there.
Hey, the rarely encountered gun bunnies just might blow them up in return.
Them’s some evil rabbits.

No mathematicians down under?
Unfortnately the foxes won't cooperate. They find lambs and poultry easier to catch than rabbits.
Shame to waste good meat.
Flopsy dog food.
Mopsy cat food.
You’d make a killing.
Gotta start somewhere.
God hates bunnies. God will rain down fire and brimstone and bunnies.
Bunnies are nature’s freaks.
Think of dyanmite as fire and brimstone raining down on bunnies because God is angry at them for killing ptarmigans.
My wife, who passed a number of years ago, had this unbelievable love of rabbits.
Early in our dating time, I rented and we watched “Night of the Lepus”, a Rotten Tomatoes classic about monster killer rabbits.
She was breathless the whole movie!
I can’t remember exactly what led to the doom of the buck toothed beasties, but they had it comin!!
Bugs Bunny!
The other white meat!!
Lol!
I hate Bugs Bunny! Bugs Bunny is the anti-Christ.
I hate too say it, but I have been meaning to rent that movie for years, but I’ve never seen it. I can’t even claim youth as an excuse; I just haven’t gotten around to watching it.
