[BadFish]

So I take it you shoot these too?:

Black rat
Brown rat
Brown hare
Dromedary
Deer from Europe
Dog
Dingo
Ferret
Donkey
House Mouse
Northern Palm Squirrel
Polynesian rat
Water Buffalo

All non native to Australia.

Don't forget horses and Brumbies




or white people.

 

[The Truth]

Do tell us all, how exactly should we erradicate feral cats etc? Putting a bullet between a feral cats eyes in not "sick or cruel". What bullshit.

Feral cat or stray cat. They are both the same thing.

Eradicate invasive pests all you want, I'll support you on that. But what has that go to do with lion hunting?

All of the above are shootable, except one... Dingoes are native.

They erradicated all the Water Buffalo in the NT by rounding them up and shooting them as they carried TB. Also culled camels, goats, pigs etc etc

Techinically Dingoes aren't native, they have just been here a long time. Does beg the question though, how long does something have to be here before it is considered native?

The origins of the dingo are obscure and there is much controversy. It is not truly native to Australia but is thought to have arrived between 3500 and 4000 years ago.

Controlled licensed hunting is better than black market hunting would you agree? Hunting such animals will occur in one for or another no matter what. So which method would you rather?

The hard hearted ******* didn't even cry.

Dingoes existed thousands of years before European settlement, as such they are part of the native flora an fauna. 4000 or more years on the continent allows them that status.

They are move native to Australia than most other dog breeds are native to their listed nation of origin.

I've always had Greyhounds and Whippets for pets.

He'd kill a rabbit long before I would.

How many did you shoot?

He's more into sports shows.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

How many did you shoot?

None, they cost too much.

Actually scratch that, one. It had been bitten by a snake while running around in a paddock and wasn't going to survive.

Not association football, Aussie Rules and basketball.

Sorry to hear that.

Anyways, how many different creatures have you shot dead then? (pets not included)

Do you think the animals will ever retaliate like on Avatar? If so, are there any Honey badgers in Australia?
