Plea for myxomatosis vaccine for rabbits
Mitcham pet rabbits die from myxomatosis, plea for vaccineArticle Shared : Whitehorse Leader
IT was a Christmas surprise that 10-year-old Freya McAuliffe did not have on her wish list.
The Mitcham girl was left heartbroken on the most festive day of the year after waking to find her pet rabbit Bubbles writhing in pain.
The bunny had contracted myxomatosis and died a few hours later.
The highly contagious disease then spread to the family’s other rabbit Millie, who was also put down on New Year’s Eve.
Myxomatosis causes lumps and puffiness around the head of rabbits, leading to possible blindness and death within 48 hours.
It is spread by bites from fleas or mosquitoes that have fed on an infected rabbit.
An available vaccine is illegal in Australia for fear it could be transmitted through the wild rabbit population.
Freya is starting a petition asking federal Agriculture Minister Joe Ludwig to allow the vaccine.
“I was thinking about all the other pet owners that have had this happen to them,” she said.
“Dogs can be vaccinated for all the diseases they have so why can’t you get it for rabbits?”
Freya’s mother, Janine, said she knew many other families left shattered by the disease.
“It’s becoming such an epidemic at the moment,” she said.
“We feel it’s unfair when we are responsible pet owners.
“If there was a virus that was spread to dogs and cats and they went through excruciating pain and you had to put them down there would be an outcry.”

US Festival Uses Kangaroo in Boxing Show!
Personally I think this is terrible and animal cruelty! See how far that guy would get with out those gloves or if he received a swift kick to the guts with those huge back legs!
I will also note that the Aussie Olympic flag is of a boxing Kangaroo , which too has been recently banned by the IOC at the Olympics (read below) . Here is a video from the Rocky Show Circus and related news article covering the event that was boycotted.

It is an image that will leave every Australian sick to the stomach. Our national mascot dressed in shorts and boxing gloves with a rope tied around its chest, goaded into boxing a human clown.

Kraft Foods Australia says it is pleased that an American festival show featuring a red kangaroo that is goaded into fighting a human clown has cancelled the exhibition.
The American arm of Kraft - the owners of Vegemite - was sponsoring the show in the Texas town of Hidalgo, which claimed to be a celebration of all things Australian.
Following widespread publicity, Kraft released a statement on Saturday saying it was pleased the event had been cancelled.
"We understand the BorderFest Association, which organises this annual cultural celebration, has apologised for offending anyone, particularly the people of Australia, with the kangaroo boxing display," said Kraft spokesman Simon Talbot.
"That portion of the event has been cancelled.
"Kraft Foods is pleased they've taken this proactive stance."
News Limited newspapers reported on Saturday that the festival features an event called Rocky Show Circus, involving two kangaroos and their owner, Javier Martinez, who dons a clown suit.
Mr Martinez reportedly baits the kangaroo by pushing it and poking it before placing it in a headlock.
If the kangaroos fight back too much, Mr Martinez's wife Sandra restrains it using a heavy tether attached to a harness around the animal's chest.
Mr Martinez has defended the show, saying the kangaroos are in control at all times.
"You cannot force a kangaroo to do nothing," he said.
"(Kangaroos) only do what they want to do so we don't make them work, you work around them."
But News Limited said Mr Martinez is known to US animal welfare authorities, having been on their watch list since 2003, when two kangaroos he was caring for died within four months.
He's also been investigated by PETA, which says one of the kangaroos died from a bacterial disease called lumpy jaw.
