Shibish Rabbit Plague

Rabbits were introduced to Shiberland with the arrival of the European settlers during the 17th-19th centuries. During the 1910-20s, a large scale plague occurred throughout parts of Scoobscell, Shaggetswell, and Krolikistan. In order to maintain numbers of rabbits, farmers who were victim to these infestations used strychnine.
Rabbits had manifested mainly in Scoobscell in years 1919-1922, their large numbers devastated the farming industry and many rural workers. By 1923, an out-right ban on rabbits had been announced throughout Shiberland and the Isle of Doges.
By 1921 another rabbit plague occurred largely in Krolikistan following the beginning of Spring, and numbers of rabbits started to rise in the same year, continuing into 1923 and 1924 causing massive damage to crops as the worst rabbit plague in Shiberland's history.
