Banteng culling
Sep 8th, 2015 at 11:28am
 
The NT has a feral Banteng problem.

Quote:
Arnhem land rangers launching an ambitious cull program are hoping to undo years of rampant buffalo growth in an attempt to stop further environmental damage being inflicted by the feral pests

The number of buffalo in the Maningrida area had quadrupled over the past 15 years,with current estimates putting their numbers up to 20,000

Between 2000 and 3000 buffalo are culled every year.
But rangers predict this will need to be doubled to simply stop the population growth.

Once upon a time we were exporting 10 tons of Buffalo meat a day.


Nice to see Aborigines employed for this.

good to see them making use of the meat.  Is the hide good for anything?

Yes it is Honky

Do you recall that Peta campaign with leather shoe-handbag-purse-skirt-dress-jacket wearing bimbos sitting on leather chairs saying fur is bad?

If fur is bad then surely leather must be bad for the exact same reason unless you are a hypocrite with an agenda.
