Tassie Devils have been established – apparently successfully- into the reserve on Barrington Tops in NSW (near Gloucester). Shirley Cook —– Original Message —– Cc: “Messages Birding-aus” < birding-aus@birding-aus.org> Sent: Monday, November 03, 2014 10:55 AM

Hi Charles, Yes, I have read about the proposal to introduce Tassie Devils to Victoria. An interesting idea, but I do have a few qualms about it. Tassie Devils do not just prey on feral cats and they may find the mainland’s small mammals much easier prey. Trying to replace a predator with a predator just sounds a bit odd to me. I would rather see the introduction of a feline specific biological agent. Carl Clifford

The latest episode of Landline (Series 2014 Ep 40) has an good segment on feral cats and some initiatives happening in northern Tasmania. The feral cat segment starts at 18m:30sec. It mentions the consideration of state governments (Victorian) to introduce Tasmanian Devils on the mainland to help combat feral cats devastating impact on fauna. Watch it on iView: http://iview.abc.net.au/programs/landline/NC1432Q040S00#playing Cheers, Charles Hunter Bronte NSW On Saturday, 1 November 2014, 13:49, Carl Clifford < carlsclifford@gmail.com> wrote: Good to see something positive towards feral cat control. http://www.abc.net.au/environment/articles/2014/10/31/4118217.htm Carl Clifford
