They're there for the whole community, not just one select group and no one wants to go hiking knowing that people with loaded guns are running around the place.
Shooters, hire your own land and you can shoot until your hearts content. We don't want to share because we know exactly what you'd be shooting if you got your gun crazy foot in the park.
I'm surprised the shooter wants to beat someone to death lol....oh maybe with the butt of his gun. I have never shot a thing and I find the rambo style shooters hilarious and I detest those who brag about the death of an animal, however having seen the damage caused by feral deer, horses, pigs, dogs, cats, foxes and rabbits to our precious national parks I fully support controlled firearm access to the parks. The emphasis on ''controlled''. If you haven't seen the damage done, I suggest you get out into the parks with someone who can show you. Will it wipe out these pests? or will it just result in native animals and people shot and then left to die inhumane deaths. Perhaps these shooters should start with shooting all the dumped animals the RSPCA end up euthanising. If people would like to reduce feral animals, lets look at the cause, human dumping of their pets. OMG you really have been brainwashed Martin, you truly have no idea, these are no longer escaped pets, these are breading mammals, living the high life destroying the habitat of native fauna. These are mobs of horses numbering 50 or more, camels (I forgot camels) in herds of hundreds, dogs running in packs of 15/20 tearing young and old kangeroos apart eating their stomachs and leaving them still alive, pigs attacking humans out for a quiet bush walk. I could go on but you are never going to listen, because it doesn't fit with your little green book. And that is sad. We just had a dog reduction program near us. Dogs dumped by ... drum roll ... humans. It's a knee jerk to reckon pests can be reduced by gun totting violent guys. Human assisted escape of domestic animals first, so then reduction methods are successful. So do shooters support the licensing of non native animals. Deflect Deflect Deflect
