Apparently the NSW Government thinks so as the NSW Dept of Primary Industry reports that hunters accounted for $1,406 million being spent in the State last year.

Is Mise,

I got a 404 error on your reference, but getting rid of vermin has to be good for the state, and hunting is a natural activity that still lingers in modern men and some women. It's enjoyable. You like it. I used to like it, and it puts money in government coffers.

It depends what you are hunting. If its more the American style of hunting where the prey is human, no its not good. If its to prey on children and the innocent with guns, like in the case of John Edwards, and Martin Bryant its also not good. If its to shoot the farmers cattle and sheep then again its not good.

Feral animal control requires a holistic approach, and professional shooters most likely should be a part of that control. As for the involvement of the destructive weekend Rambo's that's not such a good idea.

Since your link is an error, can't comment on that.

I saw a paper t'other day which said that wild pigs, world-wide, account for CO2 output equal to approximately 1 million cars primarily due to their habit of turning over soil which releases its sequestered carbon. So I assume that all those CO2 fetishists would be happy to see wild pigs severely culled.

Paul,

Go to the link maze gave then click the hunting icon and the report to which I alluded will come up, a fair comment would be appreciated.

According to the ABC "hunting has become a large
contributor to the NSW economy."

"Statistics from the NSW Department of Primary
Industries ( DPI) showed that in the 2019-20
financial year, hunting was worth more than $14 billion
to the state's economy."

Also professional shooters help farmers control pests
like rabbits, kangaroos, foxes and so on. According
to professional shooters hunting was growing and it
could be a major tourism industry for regional Australia
as it is in New Zealand.

Lets also not forget if done the right way - (by professional
shooters) hunting is good for the environment since it helps
to maintain the population of different animal species in
good balance. There is a danger that overpopulation of a
particular type of animal species can cause environmental
challenges such as scarcity of food.

The other thing is that hunting activities can help
promote conservation. The hunting industry generates revenue
through tax collections and this money could be used for
other activities like the maintenance of parks.
