My boy is a desert variety.

But know many people with alpines. Most are desexed though, as intact dingoes are very much a handful

I am not a shooter, never even fired a gun in my life

But why did you expect this the happen Stets? It more than likely would of happened anyway regardless if the new bill was passed or not.

I've had a good read of this thread as a shooter myself I am appalled by this behaviour. One should have specific game to target and the right calibre and knowledge of anatomy to provide a clean kill. You can't just go shooting anything that moves. To conduct shooting on crown land state Forrest or national parks I have no problem with if this irresponsible behaviour didn't happen or they said only shoot the ferals that are the problem. What's the point of getting 30 roos in a day if you can't process skin and use them. Take what you need so when you need there's some to take.

Outrageous behaviour. Does not happen in SA where there is access to Nat Parks, has not occured in NSW State Forrests under the R license scheme.



I hope that the alleged offenders are dealt with severely if proved. Now, in using 'alleged' I am not saying that this did not happen - just using appropriate language at this point in the investigation.

Simple understanding of what humans have done time and time again in similar situations. There are a great number of people that are well behaved for fear of being prosecuted only. Remove the prosecution hence remove the fear...... No more good behavior.

Take suspension and tyre modifications across Australia. In many states a 2" lift am 33's is all you can do. Yeah there always the rebellious type that will do it anyway, then there are those that wish they could do more but for what ever reason can't risk a defect notice, fine, or other punishment. Remove the restriction and everyone would modify.
Same principle

Look, illegal shooting has always happened in and around nat parks an crown land, but to have it happen so frequently all over nsw without care only points to one reason. People think the law had changed

I'm not sure that those clowns have respect for any law.

If the report is accurate, and there is nothing to say it is not, they are just grubs who need to be dealt with.

Sometimes I think it would be useful to bring back the stocks/pillory - a bit of public humiliation in the market square rather than some slap on the wrist.

Hahaha silver...

I'm a fan of tall trees and short ropes myself. Hang 'em for all to see. Make a point of it!

Stets,

I understand your passion about this issue, but that incident would have happened law or no law, There are halfwits out there who have carried out this sort of behaviour with guns, bows, rocks and sticks.

The issue is not the law but the absolutely cruel mentality that the morons that are swimming in the low end of the gene pool have. Because of where I live in the High Country of Southern NSW, I have worked in NP's and on farms and most of the people I know who shoot for pest eradication do it humanely and sensibly. I am in an area where we have Roo Shooters who cull for the Roo meat market and talking to these guys the setup costs and regulations mean that if they don't behave responsibly, their license would be revoked and they would end up massively out of pocket.

Unfortunately even some of our native animals get to plague proportions and become in themselves a pest, at these times we need to have responsible controls, and in times of drought I think it is better to cull their numbers than see them starve. We need a balance so that our farmers and native animals can co-exist. Without getting political there are some out there who would be happy if Australia was one big NP, but that is a ridiculous notion, we are here now and all need a way to manage this great land to the benefit of all.

I think most shooters try to behave in a manner that is respectful to our environment but there will always be exceptions to this, as that is human nature.

And no I am not a shooter/hunter but I know my way around firearms.
