Hi there ONTHEBEACH...

And you too have a really great day, as we unite in the freedom we both cherish !

Paul,

How would you humanely cull the animals when overpopulation threatens their well being?

Is Mise, I can't get a fix on it, as the population is growing that fast, but there is now in excess off 7,287,294,642 homo sapiens on the planet and growing. The number increased by 150% in 50 years.

Elephants 650,000 with a 50% decline in the last 50 years.
Lions 35,000 down 75%
Rhinoceros 5,000 down from 65,000 in 1970

Population of Brisbane 2,000,000. People do better in Brisbane than large animals do in all of Africa. The population of sheep in Australia is 100,000,000, do we love sheep that much that we have to have 5 for every Australian? Kiwi's love sheep even more, they have to have 7 each!

How would you humanely cull the animals when overpopulation threatens their well being? AND it does, there is a problem with overpopulation alright (see above) and its not the elephants, lions or rhinoceroses! Is euthanasia the answer? No!

Possibly the worlds most endangered large animal the Javan Rhinoceros, with less than 60 animals believed to remain in the wild. Imagine what a killing we could make with a safari of big white hunters bagging a bunch of these critters! Beach, can you crunch the numbers please, give me a report! I sus at least a million bucks a head, maybe two, its all a win win situation, hunters have fun, we get rich, and the world is rid of another pesky animal.,,never did like Javan Rhinoceros, too smelly!

Paul1405,

You continually demonstrate why the NSW 'Watermelon' Greens are seen as a crack-pot unit, only intent on sensationalisn and headlines, with no solutions at all. They are a complete waste of the seats they occupy.

Again, what about considering a well-researched, constructive report that takes all of the relevant issues into account?
