Struggling rabbit encounters difficulties
=====================================================================================
In Germany, the European brown hare population is substantial but currently facing challenges, such as an increase in cases of myxomatosis, a viral disease [1]. Despite this, millions of hares thrive in the German countryside, suggesting a stable or substantial population presence [4].
Urban wild rabbit populations, on the other hand, are on the rise in some cities, despite declines in rural areas [3]. This could potentially serve as a future source for maintaining the species.
Concerning the chocolate rabbit population and cocoa prices, no direct link has been established. The term "chocolate rabbit population" likely refers to the manufactured chocolate rabbits sold seasonally, rather than a biological population [2].
The SWR, a German public broadcaster, has recommended baking an Easter hare instead of hunting, eating, or expecting a hare to bring Easter eggs [5]. This recommendation is not related to hunting or eating real hares for Easter.
The number of hares in Germany has increased to approximately 5.5 million as of 2024, according to the German Hunting Association [6]. However, the hare depicted in Albrecht Dürer's watercolor cannot be hunted or eaten, nor will it bring Easter eggs [7].
The watercolor of a field hare by Albrecht Dürer, which marks the 500th anniversary of his death, will be exhibited for the first time since 2019/2020 in the year 2028 [8]. For more information about the SWR's recommendation, you can contact Michael Schwarz at 0711 66601-599 or m.schwarz@our website.
It's worth noting that the number of plush or chocolate rabbits vastly outnumbers their wild counterparts. Rabbits that do not lay eggs are popular Easter symbols, adding a touch of whimsy to the holiday season.
Lastly, it's important to remember that statistically, 13 Germans share a buck (presumably a hunting trophy) [9]. This fact serves as a reminder of the country's rich hunting tradition, although it is not directly related to the topics discussed here.
