Animal relocation 2

Several kinds of 🔉kangaroosI became extinct where rabbits I were 🔉found . Kangaroos had 🔉simply a 🔉shortage of food. Other little 🔉marsupialsI were 🔉severely 🔉affected . Rabbits were eating out 🔉plants and were 🔉browsing young trees 🔉I  removing them 🔉totally. In 1875 the 🔉State of South Australia 🔉adopted the 🔉act 🔉I  binding the 🔉farmers to 🔉kill rabbits and 🔉I  provide the State 🔉authorities with rabbit 🔉skins as the 🔉evidence. 🔉Those who 🔉delivered 🔉less skins had to pay a 🔉fine. Lots of farmersI made a 🔉fortune with rabbits. This 🔉industrial field provided Australians with more 🔉job 🔉opportunities than 🔉any other field. But the 🔉amount of rabbits didn’t 🔉grow less. 🔉Initially it was decided to bring 🔉natural 🔉enemies of rabbits - 🔉foxes, 🔉ferrets and 🔉weasels. But the 🔉attempt 🔉failed. 🔉Imported animals 🔉switched to the 🔉local marsupials and birds which were not as fast as rabbits and couldn’t 🔉resist. Then Australians 🔉turned to traditional methods - 🔉toxic chemicals and 🔉shooting. That 🔉turned to be not working. In the middle of the fifties of the 20th century rabbit 🔉fleas and 🔉mosquitos were brought to Australia. As a result, 90% of animals were 🔉eliminated. 🔉The rest of them 🔉built up a 🔉tolerance. This is how Australia 🔉almost 🔉gained a victory over rabbits. 🔉Toads were 🔉left.
