LONDON — Mutant rabbits on islands in northern Scotland are confounding bounty hunters who are paid by the tail, a London newspaper reported today.
Hunter Harold Sutherland said he had encountered a tailless strain of rabbit that cheated him of the 43-cent-a-tail bounty offered by Shetland Island Council in an effort to curb a growing rabbit population.
“I found that five or six rabbits I had shot had no tail at all,” he said. “Without a tail I am not sure what we will do.”
