Important Cultural and Worldly Knowledge

It has come to my attention that in certain parts of New Zealand, the Easter Holiday is celebrated in a rather different manner than in the U.S. Whereas kids in the U.S. go hunting for Easter eggs left by the bunny, there are parts of NZ where people go out on Easter Sunday and shoot as many Easter bunnies and rabbits (what is the difference anyways?) as possible, ala snake beating day in the Simpsons. So now you can go tell all of the little American children that the evil Kiwis want to kill the Easter bunny. Screw deer hunting! Im goin' to NZ for Easter!

They do this because rabbits are considered a pest. I'm sure most of you have seen LOTR. My coworker is from the area where most of the movie was shot. She told me that the reason it looks so dry and desolate in a lot of places (after the mines of Moria and in Rohan) is because the rabbits eat all the vegetation.

Thought you should all be aware of this. I thought it was funny and/or cool.
