I've spent time in the past shooting feral rabbits, foxes and cats here in Australia, which do immeasurable harm to the native ecosystems. It can be a fairly engaging activity, but it does pay to keep in mind that it's not the animals fault that they're born into the environment they're in, and as such you do try to minimise the level of suffering around it (i.e. I'm not a fan of people bow hunting which isn't an instantaneous kill). I suppose it helps to keep a level of mindfulness around what you're doing and remember that causing unnecessary pain is something to avoid.
- TheSpiceIsLife 4y agoIf you're in Australia the wild boar in Queensland, kangaroo & feral goats in South Australia, and the fallow deer in Tasmania should be added to the list. I'd also argue for permanent open season on roaming cats.
- King-Aaron 4y agoYep feral pigs and goats are a big issue in WA too, as well as camels in the north.
