Today is the day, Issy presents his overwhelming evidence, supporting his claim that;

"What I (Is Mise) claim is that the Sporting Shooters' Association of Australia (SSAA) have done and are doing more for conservation than the Greens have or will ever do."

At least the Greens have never released feral pests like foxes into the environment.

But we will set that disgusting action by the Shooters aside as Issy has evidence of the SSAA mob doing great (good) things for the environment. Trying to make restitution for your fellow shooters terrible past actions, by bumping of an occasional fox, I can only applaud. Now for that evidence!

Paul,

"To satisfy their perverse please of killing something, Gunnies released foxes, rabbits, deer and numerous other feral pests into the environment"

Care to back that up with evidence, a reference or two?
Look it up whilst you are searching for something to back up your claims that the NRA of the USA sens funds to the SSAA.

Over four nights we shot 43 foxes, 2 feral pigs and 3 cats.
This was done under the Farmer Assist program of the SSAA.
Did any Greens save native animals by removing predators?

SSAA members throughout NSW take part in the Farmer Assist program
and help farmers to cut down the number of feral animals affecting their properties.

The various firing ranges along with SSAA owned properties encompass thousands of acres that are refuges for native animals.

How many properties have the Greens invested in and made into refuges?
They have certainly been involved in the setting up, at no expense to themselves, of National Parks that are breeding grounds for feral predators and noxious weeds; that's why Byron Bay is the Lantana Capital.

//Care to back that up with evidence, a reference or two?//

"Feral pigs are making their way into Sydney from the central west as people are transporting the animals dead and alive back into the metropolitan areas.

Rural Crime manager, Detective Bob Newman of Bathurst Police said highway patrol officers recently stopped 'pig hunters' from Sydney in Bathurst for a vehicle inspection, finding two live pigs near the rear of the utility."

"Although the occupants of the vehicle told officers they were planning on eating the pigs, police suspect something more sinister.

"We strongly suspect they were planning on releasing them into the scrub, fatten them and then use them for hunting training in the future," Detective Newman said.

Cumberland Livestock Health and Pest Authority ranger Steve Parker said he trapped three mature pigs last week on government land in north-western Sydney and incidences such as these were on the rise.

"Local knowledge tells us that these pigs were brought in from the other side of the Blue Mountains and dumped in the Londonderry area," Mr Parker said."

Toni,

Not hard evidence but prosecute to the full as a deterrent.

Dear Issy,

I accept the evidence of unselfish well intentioned efforts on your part in the fight to eradicate undesirable feral pest, such as foxes. WELL DONE. After reading the material of the SSAA Farm Assist Programme I also applaud their efforts in that regard.
However, in no way does any of the above detract from the efforts of those environmentalists who fight to improve the well being of the environment, Including political efforts to protect National Parks and other ecological sensitive areas from recreational shooters.

Paul,

Tilterweira Station is an 88,000 acre property that was bought by the SSAA some years ago and is located next to a National Park that is a breeding ground for feral pests, the station is also a refuge for native animals that find it, as a hunting area, much safer than the Park.

Have the Greens done anything like this to help protect native wildlife?
