They aren't. The are an introduced species that bred like you-know-what & thrived. In the past numbers in plague proportions were quite a problem for the grain growers. Lots of effort over the years has gone into containing & killing them. They introduced a virus into the rabbit population some years ago that put a dent in their numbers. However I heard recently the the virus is losing it's potency (or the rabbits are adapting) & numbers may be on the rise.
