myxomatosis in Rabbits

Until yesterday I believed this was a thing of the past I have now realised it has not simply gone away.. I found a warren which was seemed to be totally infected ..

I thought that perhaps it was the "must do" thing to report a case to someone..
After several phone calls to people passing me on to someone else I found out from Defra that basically no one is responsible for disease control and it is not neccesary to report it..

I was very surprised seing how it decimated the rabbit population in the 60's and 70's. I have posetd a few photos to show how these creatures are suffing - If you dont like seeing suffering animals plz don't look..

I really do not understand why there is no control of these diseased animals at all
