The thermal imaging chopper gunships thing in SA is not new. They tried it on Kangaroo Island to eliminate feral goats. They reportedly used "Judas goats" to find herds as well.

After the bushfires on two thirds of the island, the western end, many feral pigs died. Reportedly they used thermal imaging and chopper gunships to reportedly exterminate the remaining feral pigs. I say reportedly as one needs to question everything in the media. I'm sure goats and especially pigs survived. The KI pigs are unique, near wild boar, sort of, after a couple hundred years. Introduced by whalers and sealers as shipwreck food. Clean and free of diseases usually infecting inland feral pigs. I'd like a few pigs to put in a paddock. And of course wild pork in a freezer.

Deer extermination, true? I will have a look. But there is nothing unexpected from the SA govt. The Liberal opposition. leader here is also a wanker. He tried to shut down the quail season when environment minister.

Effective, won't be 100%. But SA deer range is not like the Great Dividing Range. More open forest and scrub. Lower hills . Flatter country. Thermal imaging chopper gunships will work better.

Other than the loss of hunting animals and a huge waste of a resource, instead of a proactive managed sustainable approach, it's exterminate! exterminate! exterminate!

The "40,000 will soon become 200,000" is total BS, and an invasive species council scare/panic campaign.

The forcible billing of landowners for their ridiculous expensive chopper gunships is the act of a tyrannical UN2030 Globalist government.
