Paul,

Just answer the question.

Beach, The Sustainable Tourism Cooperative Research Centre (STCRC), was an Australian Cooperative Research Centre established by the Australian Government's Cooperative Research Centres Program to establish a competitive and dynamic sustainable tourism industry in Australia. It ceased to operate on 30 June 2010.

STCRC is a not-for-profit company owned by its industry, government and university partners. STCRC stands as the world’s largest travel and tourism research centre. Very good.

As I said, I have no problem with the 72 page report put out by this organisation. I am not too sure about its relevance to big game hunting in Africa, but I'll accept its finding.
Please allow me to hold the opinion that big game hunting and recreational hunting in general is immoral. That is my bottom line.

Is Mise, I make the point that it is us humans that have a population problem and not the animals, but you seem to want to penalise the other species on the planet for what is a problem of our doing.

I think that answers your question "How would you humanely cull the animals when overpopulation threatens their well being?" The "overpopulation problem of animals" is a man made aberration. Animals are suffering the same fate as many indigenous people have, when the European arrived he found the new lands were "over populated", in Australia's case by Aboriginal people in about 200 years we got the balance right, so we think, European numbers went from zero to 23 million, while indigenous numbers declined from 750,000 to around 650,000 including many of mixed race. Animals of little commercial value are going the same way!

Beach " 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." We have a state election in March, why don't you put your hand up, say in the seat of Newtown, we Greens would welcome your democratic input.

Regardless of how it happened animal over population is a problem that affects the long term well being of some populations, so how would you humanely cull those animal populations?

Is Mise, I say again the so called "over population" is a man made phenomenon. Ok! kill 1,000, then when more habitat is destroyed, kill another 10,000, and so on, until the whole species becomes extinct. You could say that Borneo is over populated by orangutans, if your aim is to turn all of their habitat over to plantation farming for palm oil, then you certainly do have an over population problem!

Here is a list of Australian animals that no longer over populate our country.

Paul.

Quite impressive, but beside the point, we now have to manage many species for their own good, just as we have to preserve their habitat.

So, when culling becomes necessary; how would you humanely cull?

Is Mise, I am not going to be drawn on that "we now have to manage many species for their own good" and then the "when culling becomes necessary; how would you humanely cull"
I'll pick a species and you can give me the correct answer...CANE TOAD (in Australia)
