Re: Pig Baiting Survey

In reply to:
This a private company....
Eh???
Where do you get that idea?
In reply to:
We are an un-incorporated joint venture of seven organisations: The Australian National University; CSIRO; Adelaide University; The University of Sydney; The University of Western Australia; The Agriculture Protection Board of WA; and the Department of Conservation and Land Management WA.
The reason that there is any form of company structure involved is that CRCs are not in the business of selling product.
Co-operative Research Centres (CRCs) have been established to address a number of environmental issues and are a considerable step forward in research organisation and funding.
The nearest this survey gets to asking where you chase pigs is a request (which you DON'T have to comply with) to tick a box regarding which STATE you operate in. (I ticked every state I've ever hunted pigs in....;)) It's hardly reasonable to contrue that as an attempt to find your personal hotspot is it?
It isn't even about hunting as such..... it's about pig control. It gives us an opportunity to tell them that there are a lot of blokes out here who are already controlling pigs and who have no intention whatsoever of buying their bloody baits because baits are non-specific, inhumane or any other decent reason you can think of.
Keep the knee-jerk under control and start thinking through the issues.
