Matt 160 Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Another big rabbit job for Ed Cook (link) Seems fairly cheap for three months hard work! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TOMO 30,258 Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Very cheap,,,6 men for 3 months?,,,,even at the very low wage of 1000 per man per month,,,,that's 6 grand a month,,,,,I'm sure those figures can't be right,,,unless 6 men were just there for a week or two,,,,then down to one man,,,even then,,,with all the logistics,,,,can't of been worth it,,,them figures must be wrong Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Born Hunter 18,027 Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 What are the figures? Because I can't view it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulus 26 Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 9000 in 3 months between 6 men Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TOMO 30,258 Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 The report said it cost between 5000 and 10.000,,,, wich is feck all Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 18,027 Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 9G was what they sold them for to the French restaurants (£1/rabbit). I'd be very surprised if the contract was purely for the rabbits as payment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulus 26 Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 The report said it cost between 5000 and 10.000,,,, wich is feck all plus nine grand for the rabbits so possibly nineteen grand between six over three months Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 18,027 Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Okay, so 5-10k contract plus 9k in meat sales. Still pennies for a 3 month contract. Apparently an estimated 7k rabbits left alive on the island. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tiercel 6,986 Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Considering they paid £600,000 to get rid of the rats not so long ago I think the figures do not add up, a contact like that should be at least £800 a day between 6 men. TC 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

heritage 202 Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 I wouldn't belive everything that's been reported by the press as it's very often inaccurate..... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
