i was always glad to see the rabbits paddy, the more the better. i feel saddened by the way they have been wiped out, and not knowing why. but as you say most farmers wouldnt miss them, but i think the countryside lacks something without them, i put 15 outa one warren in a hotspot we hunted in clogher one time. went to see farm on sat past there and there wasnt a pill or a pad, we walked around for 20 mins and packed it in.
