I wonder how many species have become extinct or near extinction due to the extensive land clearing for livestock farming? Which equates for something like nearly 60% of total land use in Australia...?
Hunting is not the answer. Yes some introduced species have become 'pests' (as you refer to them) but the government are not fixing anything by letting people hunt or the problem would be fixed by now. They need to get their hands out of their pockets, spend some money and deal with the problem they started in a humane and effective manner for example biological sterilisation etc.
If your reasoning for hunting is because they cause damage to the environment and native species than surely you should be hunting down rednecks like yourself too.
yes, something that can be CONTROLLED can be kept. WE caant keep rabbits and foxes out of natonal parks though. We can lessen the impact on the enviroment
Get all your redneck mates together then and get out there hunting, let me know when the problem is fixed.
Only 13% of australia is national park so shouldn't take you long...
Then you can start of the 58% livestock land and save all the damn sheep from the foxes eh?
Then we can have roast mutton to celebrate...

Regardless organic, whatever, your still contributing to the extensive clearing of land, the extensive loss of habitat for native species, yearly greenhouses gases that exceed that of all the worlds transport, waste of water, waste of energy... I could go on all day...
Look, if you have questions on our opinions, sure, come and ask. We understand that introduced species do have an adverse affect on the environment/native species but hunting is not the answer and also you need to put things into perspective on how much damage we cause compared to how much damage a fox causes. A fox is still worthy of consideration and compassion. And by the way, not all of us consider a seeing eye dog as a servent, I actually think they enjoy having a job to do and are most probably appreciated extremely by their carers. So don't make assumptions. And don't mock us with sarcasm or you will get exactly that back.
