Dear B-A,
I doubt this report will have any effect until some unfortunate is shot, if then. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-12-23/leaked-report-highlights-deadly-hunting-risk/4441652

Carcasses are not a good point of argument as most of the targeted animals will die locally unless they were to be removed live from the area beforehand. The timing, location of death, and the density of carcasses are the only variables.
Regarding feral goats on parks, organized reduction programs combining mustering and the use of trap yards near water. particularly during drought periods are more effective methods of control compared to shooting of feral animals either by hunters or officials, but be warned, there are many purists out there who will say that such mustering programs require use of vehicles, dogs and horses on and off roads within parks and this is little different to farming the reserves.
Regards
Ian May.

When this plan was first aired I came up with a quite a long list of reasons why it was a bad idea to send to the Minister (my email was never acknowledged).
Every time the issue is discussed someone comes up with another reason why this is a very bad idea. In this news report there’s the suggestion that carcasses left rotting will encourage feral animals as scavengers and make their lives easier!
