I have been trying to reserch why the rabbit is outlawed in Qld especially since CSIRO case studdies have shown that domestic rabbits can not survive in the wild. Does any one have any idea?How to change the legislation on keeping domestic rabbits in qld?The reason they are outlawed in Queensland is because it is the only state that still has the rabbit proof fence in operation.
Apparently rabbit numbers in Qld are relatively well under control in this state, and they do not want to jeopradise the situation by allowing people to keep them as pets, and risk introducing the pests into the rabbit proofed area.

You're not going to have any luck arguing with this kind of legislation. Rabbits are an introduced pest, which destroy crops, outcompete native animals, and dig up the soil. I wouldn't mind not being able to have them as pets if it meant that there weren't any feral ones in my state.
