Pesky rabbits have eaten all the veg in my veg patch. Should I support globalisation, profiteering and the demise of our retail heritage by sparing the rabbits and buying my veg from Tesco - or just shoot the rabbits?

Rip off the heads and throw them at kids.

Shoot the rabbits.
Rabbit stew is great, not a lot of meat and plenty of bones, but great.
Rabbits are out of control in the UK, destroying embakments.
Tesco's strores import produce from all over the world, even when we have suitable producers in England.
Bought some chicken last week, but when I got home I discovered that it had been flown in from Thailand and simply packed in the UK.
Whilst we have a Tesco Extra (very large supermarket), in town, we now find that we need to visit ALDI on the way to Tesco to be able to get good food at a reasonable price.
BTW, It is calculated that Tesco accounts for over 8% of all money spend by consumers in the UK (not just food). Too big now and too greedy.

Tesco is the WalMart of the UK, huge and everywhere. In the UK guns and therefore killings are rare, Thank God!
To answer the question posed, simple garden fencing that is a meter high and staked in a small trench will keep them out. If you encourage birds to come into your property, i.e. feed them and let nature take over, that usually attracts a pair of hawks. When they nest in a tall tree on your property that takes care of things more naturally than gunplay.

iv got a better idea. My mum buys these plastic greenhouse things there about £15 from any garden centre (only about 1ft wide and 2ft tall you can get loads of sizes tho) and it stops slugs, rabbits ect eating ur veg. Now you can eat ur own veg and not kill cute little rabbits x

There are professional rabbit catchers who use ferrets.Try asking your local authority about pest control. They would most likely know about ferreters operating locally. This is a kinder way than shooting as a kill is ensured each time. Not nice but better than just wounding the poor things and letting them die slowly. I once had I cat who was a terrific rabbiter but several since who were anything but!

Neither, work out a way where the rabbits cannot get at your vegetables. You are human (obviously a "higher" species) so it should not be too difficult to outwit a rabbit surely!

If you shoot them you had better make use of them...eat the meat, make something out of the fur. If you shoot them and leave them there it's not right.
You could also trap them and re-locate them or find something to put on your vegetables that would repel them.
I'm going to be sad if you shoot them though, because I love rabbits. I have a pet dwarf bunny and a bunny tattoo on my back.

Shoot them or you will soon infest all your neighbours gardens to soon the whole area around your district will be over run. I`ve had to deal with these situations before.
