Rabbits are everywhere in the wild, so why is rabbit meat so expensive? (opens original article in a new tab)

Rabbit meat is expensive in Australia despite high wild populations due to reduced farmed production and limited supply, though mobile abattoirs may improve access.

• Rabbit populations in Australia have increased due to recent rainfall, causing agricultural losses of up to $200 million annually.
• Rabbit meat is expensive due to a decline in farmed rabbit production and limited supply from wild-harvesting sources.
• Mobile abattoirs are being considered as a potential solution to improve the availability and reduce the cost of rabbit meat.
