Racist, bigot, xenophobe are the cries! Never have I had such an annoying discussion.

Just poking around doing some research and I found an article from the NY Times dates July 31, 1892.
A RABBIT WALL.; HEMNING IN THE PESTS IN AUSTRALIA — OPPONENTS OF EXTERMINATION., NY Times, July 31 1892

Recently the ABC reported the dry weather is allowing the increasingly successful trapping of Spotted Doves in the Northern Territory. This has raised some questions about the legality of hunting Rock Pigeons (feral pigeons) and particularly tasty Spotted Doves in NSW, previously an offence under the Crimes Act (NSW).

Such a move, of course, is long overdue. The fact is, by international standards, Australia may as [...]

Pictured above is a complete working, completely wooden replica, obviously unable to ever fire live ammunition.
