FOXY IDEA FOR CULLING PESTS

FOXY IDEA FOR CULLING PESTS: Firearms are an important tool to many Australians, including farmers, park rangers, security personnel, vets, the Department of Primary Industries, the Australian Defence Force and police officers. This is the first year the FoxStop program has offered firearms as a reward, along with other prizes such as DVDs, cars and camping equipment. The purpose of the prizes is to encourage licensed firearm holders in Victoria to help cull the fox population, a growing environmental problem. This program has destroyed more than 17,000 foxes that would have killed approximately 100,000 native critters each day. Winners of the firearms will also be subject to police checks. Farmers in Australia have complained that getting a firearm licence is becoming increasingly difficult. The reality is that, despite strict requirements for licensed firearms owners, some people cannot handle the thought of anyone owning a firearm, even if it is legally obtained and used for legitimate purposes. Poll Results: Taxpayer-funded guns: Should taxpayer-funded guns be given away as prizes by the State Government? Yes = 76.65% (3364 votes) No = 23.35% (1025 votes) Total votes: 4389 (Sunday Herald Sun – August 14, 2011)

Ah man, i'd love to travel to Australia to help them with their "feral critters issues". Other than foxes they have feral cats, camels, goats, pigs, dogs....

Can you imagine being paid to hunt all day various feral critters? You'd need a battery of rifles to cover the whole range of critters from cats to camels!

And Toads from Hell! The cane toad invasion is an absolute disaster there. Even the big saltwater crocs have been dying in large numbers from ingesting cane toads.
