Would you believe it, a gun-toting Cow!

Paul Coppen, 69, who supplies London's oldest restaurant with pedigree beef, was struggling to keep an army of rabbits from stripping his pastures bare.

I can't believe he seriously thought about doing this, nevermind actually doing it!

[Twinkle]

Exactly Laurel!....But I suppose that after all the damage that rabbits can do, that reality and logic goes flying out of the window,and farmers will try anything,but has no one told him that rabbits breed like rabbits?..It would have been an ever running job!....

[Laurel]

You're not wrong there either. Even if they didn't breed so quickly, I can't imagine shooting them being an effective way of removing their presence - he'd spend rather more time doing that than running his farm I think.

The further down I got through this article, the more absurd it seemed. I ended up laughing of course!

Yes I did too!....As you say he would spend less time farming,then he would have a problem for sure!...
