Does anyone know if there's a list of the specific NPs where this is being allowed? We'll have to
make sure not to look like feral animals in our off-the-beaten-track wanderings..... Joshua Bergmark

In my opinion, not being a shooter, as long as the shooting has strict
guidelines and severe penalties for breaches, I think that it is a very
good idea. National Parks staff, of which I have been one, are run off
their feet generally with the other day-to-dy work that the control of
ferals is often down on the list of priorities. I and no doubt "we", have
all seen the damage caused by feral pigs, deer, foxes, rabbits, dogs and
cats in Parks and wondered as to what is being done about it....
But the guidelines must make it very *clear* that it is just not open
season on all wildlife.

I would not be too outraged if there was a mandatory gaol term for those
transporting live feral pigs or any of the animals listed. Forfeiture of
their vehicles, licences and weapons should be automatic. Hunters shift
feral pigs into areas cleaned out to maintain their sport.

Dear All,
In a deal with the Shooters and Fishers party, the NSW Government has
announced that hunting will be allowed to hunt in 79 National Parks.
