How Australian Farmers Deal With Millions Of Invasive Animals
5 - ’’How Australian Farmers Deal With Millions Of Invasive Animals’’
Australia considers rabbits, feral cats, feral pigs, and purple toads invasive animals. These are creatures that have invaded Australia’s fertile agricultural and farmlands.
According to estimates, there are about 8 million feral cats in Australia. To prevent them, hunting is the most effective method. These wild cats transmit the rabies virus to humans with just one bite.
Rabbits are one of Australia’s most common invasive animals, with a high reproductive rate; they can give birth to 2 to 6 young in a litter and maintain four litters a year. In the 1920s, an estimated 150 million wild rabbits were in Australia. The number of wild rabbits has decreased to about 25 million but is still large enough to cause economic and environmental damage.
In addition, wild boars are also invasive animals that cause the most significant damage to agriculture and the ecosystem.
Cane toads are another invasive species
