What does TBG mean in UNCLASSIFIED

The Terrible Bunny Genocide (TBG) is a historical event that occurred in Europe between the 5th and 10th centuries. It was characterized by systematic extermination of rabbits and hares mainly for their fur and meat.

The main cause of TBG was human predation, which was initially driven by economic interests such as food, fur or medicine. Additionally, religious beliefs may have also contributed to its occurrence.

Various European nations took part in TBG on various levels, from state-sponsored activities to individual hunts by farmers or hunters.

Different methods were employed to hunt rabbits and hares, such as trapping animals with nets or snares, poisoning them with toxic substances or setting fire to warrens in order to smoke them out. In some cases animals were even clubbed to death.

Even though there is no consensus among historians about when exactly it started, estimates suggest that it lasted for several centuries until the 10th century when most rabbit populations had almost been wiped out from Europe.

Yes, over time certain regulations and laws were put in place in order to address it. Some countries instituted fines for killing too many rabbits while other countries imposed hunting bans with severe punishments for those who disobeyed.

Yes, there are certain archaeological evidence that can help us gain insight into this period of history such as remains of stone traps used during hunts or bones found near inhabited areas.

Hunting practices such as trapping animals with nets significantly reduced rabbit population numbers but other factors might have also had an effect such as landscape changes through deforestation or agriculture expansion.
