Re: Croc hunting update.
|
In reply to:
Federal Government officials have already indicated they do not support safari hunts for crocodiles, saying it contravenes the international convention on trade on endangered species.
1. Saltwater crocdiles are no longer endangered.
2. The Federal pollies are trying to say "hunting" is against CITES and the ideas of "sustainable conservation".
Maybe they should talk to the real "sustainable conservation" programme organisers in Southern Africa.
And how could be "hunting" agaisnt "sustainable conservation" under CITES when CITES allows hunting of all sorts of listed animals.
