Who should pay for kangaroo damage?

[facthunter]

Not at night and the good grass attracts them.   There's usually plenty of trees and dead wood preventing effective slashing also. Nev

 I agree driver training is the answer.

 

My nightmare stretch is the Hay plains, damn dangerous dusk till dawn.

I have touched a grey in Blue mountains in a car and a big grey glanced the front wheel down south on BMW bike. No hurt no foul, both were on bush tracks and slow.

 

 

Us humans have removed vast tree cover ecosystems and replaced it with grasslands and artificial water sources. A perfect Roo environment has been created. It's our fault and we have to live in harmony or at least not conflict with nature.

 

Bounties should be placed for introduced feral animals to totally remove them from the country- the damage they do is extreme.

 

If it does not live on your farm and managed as live stock, it should be culled to zero. That means all goats, cattle, horses, buffalo, camels, pigs, cats, foxes, rabbits, deer, feral dogs etc

Dingoes  and all other natives must be completely protected as they balance the ecosystem and are native.

 

Limited culling only by professional shooters of Roos for meat, skins and welfare reasons only.. no cowboys or gun junkies.

 

This is a role for a dedicated federal government department with a big workforce on country to implement. The employment, environmental and farm  benefits would far outweigh the costs. 

 

This should be seen as a national goal and beyond politics but essential to a liveable and sustainable planet.

 

New Zealand is aiming for Zero ferals by 2050.

 

We should do the same.

Time for big cull I'd say.

Let's not rush in to that. At least wait and see how the planned culling works out in USA.

[Jerry_Atrick]

Rather than a cull, how about dingos (livestock farms will need better fencing, though)

 

[onetrack]

You're going to need a LOT of Dingoes!! Are you planning on a Dingo breeding programme?

Litespeed .

The Natives do want to cull  the invaders,  from 1799 ish .

They don't nind the Asians though. 

Just hate ' Cooks mob '.

Remember the movie, The Man Who Sued God ?

[facthunter]

NO. Nev

[onetrack]

God can't be served a summons, because he doesn't have an earthly registered address. So, no chance of legal success in trying to sue God.
