RE: The grassy knoll
the foxes first because they´re a threat for other animals or why is that?
So does that mean that hunting for harvesting food purposes is not allowed in Australia in general?

Foxes because they're an introduced species and do the most damage, not necessarily to cattle, but certainly to sheep. They are universally hated by Australian farmers, and shot on sight. It is widely accepted that each and every fox in the country can be attributed to $4,000AUD of stock loss across the country. It is estimated some 7.2 million foxes exist here. They are also often diseased and pose a threat in that aspect also. They are considered Australia's most damaging invasive species.
We are able to hunt for food here, as long as one has the appropriate license, and hunting permit. Of course, kangaroos are regulated by the tag system I mentioned previously.
Ok, wow I did not know that there are so many foxes in australia, as I never saw one.
I just read that they have been introduced to tasmania as well, don´t get it why people do this if they know the consequences.
will have a read on this, quite interesting. thanks for the info.
