The Ground Game Act 1880 (43 & 44 Vic.) is a law passed in 1880 by the Gladstone government, as a result of many complaints over many decades about the intolerable amount of damage that farmers' crops were suffering from the activities of wild rabbits and hares, with landowners not allowing farmland occupants to kill them because of game preservation rights. This law gives land occupants the inalienable right to kill rabbits and hares on the land they occupy. This article can be downloaded from British Agricultural History Society’s website.
