The possession and use of firearms in Australia is common as there are around a million people who are dealing with it. Gun laws are predominately within the jurisdiction of Australian states and territories. To posses and use any kind of firearms a person must have a valid licence and must demonstrate a genuine reason for it. The states issue licences for legal reason which include hunting, shooting, pest control, collection and for farmers and farm workers. The invasive pests are a serious threat to the native biodiversity and so management and prevention of these animals are a major concern of both the people and the Government. When the European settlers came here they brought with them a large number of animals which in time have grown and now they are hunted down to control their growing numbers. Some of these animals include the rabbits, hare, deer, feral cattles, donkey, camel and water buffalos but then the rabbits are considered to be highly invasive pests and they a...
