Go brickie you just might have hit the nail on the head, but to all the cat lovers out there in fantasy land Boo Hoo have a cry, i give full marks to those that do keep their fur balls in night and day, but those that have the attitude that they need to roam free like a wild beast and kill any other native animal that crosses its path, i have no sympathy for.
Why oh Why was that dumb animal thought of, at least a dog is a companion, cats only come to you when they need a feed:p:p:p:p
I Wouldn't say that. Simply because the authorities let it happen knowing that those that are most active in culling any sort of "feral" animal are bogans. They come up with all sorts of ways to torturing animals and do nothing to solve the problem (Trapping and or poisoning the animals on your small property does nothing to solve the problem. It only perpetuates cruelty. And in some sociopathic way makes you feel better). Putting pressure on the authorities to direct resources (money) towards finding a permanent solution is a far better idea, but that would limit your ability to get your jollies by slaughtering animals. Eg. Australia Zoo is working on a drug to sterilize female foxes - a permanent and HUMANE solution to the problem. Civilized people look for more humane solutions to the problem - one that has some hope of solving it.Quote:

Or this one. A (no longer) friend's four year old son runs up to me and says as I remove a cane toad from the path "we throw them against the wall to get rid of them" I says how many times do you have to throw it against the wall before it stops moving? He says "lots, they don't died easy." I think the look on my face to the father said all there needed to be said - a55hole, how could you teach your son that.
Or this one. I have someone espousing the virtues of pouring detol on cane toads to kill them. I ask what happens when you do this (already knowing the answer). "they wriggle all over the place and go crazy". Why do you think they do that. "Dunno says the wise woman". I says it's cause you are essentially chemically burning them to death. Same thing if i were to spray you from head to toe with acid. Her response (now you have to know she's quite educated - shes a lawyer) "Well how else am I going to get rid of these fu^king pests" As she says this she has a look like I just pi55ed on her birthday cake.
My supervisor only had one shot gun shell left to kill a large litter of kittens. His solution was to stand back a bit farther and let fly. But the noise and movement that he expected to come from the sake made him quickly run up with a shovel and bury what what was left so he wouldn't be troubled. Inbred is a compliment to an ass hole like this.
Or farmers that hang the half dead dingos and foxes on the fences in some sort of sick and twisted superstition that it'll ward off other dingos and foxes.
Or as the idiots have posted here home made poisons that take hours and sometime days to kill. If you are one that employs such methods, and you know who you are, you are truly a sad individual. But since it's you who I categorize as deliberately and defiantly stupid it's highly unlikely that you care - but in fact laugh about it.
Now to be fair I think that there needs to be solutions found to solve the infestation of feral animals but putting it in the hands of stupid people like the examples above should be disgusting repulsive to those that are of any sort of civilized nature.
:o
Just as a matter of interest how do you get rid of cane toads humanely?:;

Well it must be obvious by now Toolin' isn't a cane toad golfer. Are they any good to eat?
I disagree.Quote:

Happy Hammer, the supposed humane way to kill cane toads and this is advocated by the RSPCA is to put the toad in a plastic bag, place it in the freezer and the cold puts it to sleep and it dies. they say it causes it no pain. the only problem you have is to make sure you get the right piece of meat out for the barbie lol.

I'll agree fully with Sturdee and add to take it further, that all feral pests should be culled by those licensed to do so (professional or farmers/land owners) without the use of poisons, inclusive of:Quote:

But in the main I agree that we should go about killing feral/pest animals in what is euphemistically (now there's a fine "bogan" word!:doh:) called a "humane" way. .
I believe that trapping an animal, such as a feral cat, and then shooting it is as "humane" as it gets. But maybe there are more "humane" ways, but personally I wouldn't want to get any closer to a feral cat than the end of a rifle barrel, you have to see some of them to believe they can grow that big and ferocious!:o
I had this vision....Quote:

Haven't seen a feral cat, but my late Dad did and saw some monsters, he had a semi-auto .22 with a scope, he'd take out with him when he field work in Western Qld. He had his aim down pat so ithat he could shoot a 20¢ piece from 50m away - while moving in the 6x4 work vehicle while his offsider was driving. He (and I agree) said it was his bit of killing what feral animals he saw while out there.
I hate people who do not lock there cats away 24 hrs a day, we lost three native ducklings to them this year:~.
When I use to work on the mines as an Environmental Coordinator we use to trap the feral cats on the lease to keep their numbers down and give the local fauna a chance. Here are a couple of pictures showing how big and healthy they get and what effect they can have on the native fauna. I am no expert but would expect that food would pass through their gut in 24 hours, do the math on what was in this cat. Note these two pictures are not the same cat.
Love Em Or Hate Em......... Couldn't Care Less!
