In the Government notices section of todays Sydney Morning Herald, there is a notice from the Game Council. The notice is for a proposal that some 190 State Forests be “declared available for hunting to assist in the management and control of game animals”. The proposal can be seen at the Game Council’s web site www.gamecouncil.nsw.gov.au
What happened to the control of feral animals?
