GP there was a story about croc hunting in the Australian Sporting Shooter I read only last night about how the Northern Territory Govt. have been trying to get safari type hunting of crocs organised, but unfortunately animal rights groups have yet again influenced the federal govt. in their decision to approve.
The NT Govt. have been trying to start a programme for 20 years run in conjunction with the local indigenous people to assist in employment to the area which currently has little or no employment opportunities.
However the Humane Society International said the rejection of the plan was a wise thing, as Trophy Hunting is an outdated approach to wild life management.
I feel that the Fed. Govt. has to suck up to these so called 'animal rights groups' which make up the Green Party to get their current Budget Reforms through Parliment. What we need is more members from the Shooters and Fishers Party to go into bat for all of us hunters. The Govt's. approach to wild life management is a wasted resorce in this country. They cant even agree on a Kangaroo cull in their own back yard, when there is thousands of Kangaroos invading Canberra every night, even that has gone to the high court. What must that be costing the tax payers of this country.
Woops, there I go again. :hmmmm:.
