Breeding Like Rabbits

Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela spent 18 of his years in prison, is a World Heritage Site and is being threatened by rabbits...a lot of rabbits. They are burrowing beneath the buildings and eaten the greenery. To help control the population, two hunters go out at night and shoot them -- up to 25 an hour. Can you imagine that being your job? Protecting a national landmark from a bunch of horny rabbits?
