The article suggested that the "advisory committee" is pro-hunting - sort of
like a peak body for shooters, integrated into the DSE. It's also listed on
this site in a manner to suggest it's pro-hunting:

"Hunting organisations provide important input to the management of game
hunting in Victoria and are widely consulted during policy development.

They also provide a number of services to members, including educational
activities, skills improvement, shooting facilities and social events."

 Shooting more "humanely" = using a bow and "nerf" arrows.  Either that or
hurling insults, like "your mother is a goose!"  Try calling a pacific black
duck a teal and see the reaction.  If I were a duck, I'd find misdiagnois
very insulting ... but probably not as insulting as anti-aircraft fire.

Um, are you sure that the "Victorian Hunting Advisory Committee" is a
pro-hunting advocacy group?
