caption: AUSTRALIA "The Eureka patent, rabbit extractor". Poster advertises an ingenious tool to flush out rabbits, because of overpopulation of the species, it brought serious damage to crops. The battle against the colonies of wild rabbits (which have caused huge damage not only agriculture, but the ecosystem in general) has continued unabated until the early twenty-first century, through multiple governmental action of biological control, which eventually succeeded to scale back the number of rabbits at a sustainable rate. The question of rabbits in Australia is emblematic of the importance of balance in the ecosystem, and what can be potentially dangerous to any arbitrary action that would affect, albeit with the best intentions. Australia, XIX century
