New South Wales is home to thousands of threatened species, such as flying foxes and the Southern brown bandicoot. Protecting these animals ought to be paramount, but now they're in danger due to the greatest threat of all: human hunters.
Tell NSW that these animals don't deserve to be exposed to this peril! »
In a move to gain the Shooters and Fishers Party's support, the state government struck a deal allowing recreational hunters access to 79 New South Wales nature reserves, national parks, and other conservation areas for pest control purposes. But their promises to supervise hunters don't hold up.
The Shooters party's website claims that parks will not be closed when they hunt and there won't be any close supervision by NP staff. So how, exactly, will this prevent hunters from running wild?
Without strict supervision, the resulting chaos caused by this decision could lead to irreversible damage. It endangers both the humans and animals of New South Wales.
Keep hunters out of New South Wales parks
