Australian cull

Really, oh my heavens, I didn't know this or the history behind it. It seems so cruel.

They cull the camels most years and have done for some considerable time.

Conservation is not an easy process, and sometimes these things need to be done to preserve the species.

I believe these camels are of particular importance as they have not had the chance to interbeeed with other strains.

They are still thinking if culling kangaroos.

You would think. It's just feels so well, tragic.

Brought by the Afghan traders I think, and now they are feral living in desert areas.

I doubt they would carry on with a cull of kangaroos as they have lost so many.

I thought that many kangaroos and koalas have died in the fires. It’s so sad. I didn’t know that Australia had that many camels to be honest.

It's astonishing, isn't it when this is the same country that bans culling of crocodiles even when they are endangering life.

However, if there is no water and the animals will be suffering then they will die anyway and perhaps culling could be kinder.
