TASMANIA has different legislation on the killing of possums [google]
And as you know Adrian the humble pussee cat eats more than just mice ,it's other preferences are our native critters.
I just read that NZ wants to eliminate all non native [in the wild ] animals, that would include possums and hedgehogs .

Humans are not Native to Australia or Tassie and we kill Everything and are responsible for the extinction (not including asteroid and comet impacts) of far more animals ans plants than any other creature on this planet.

Yet here we are being screwed by something we cannot even see.

Agree ,we are our own worst enemy, I think some hoomans have an inherent self destruct gene
which gives them an attitude; as long as I'm doing ok I don't care about the rest of you people, [I'm alright jack ]
THINK ONLY OF YOURSELF. This might bring back memories for you Adrian Laughing

The McGowan government are now pushing ahead with stamping out "Puppy farming." Not before time.
Maybe the same move with cat breeding would also make a lot of sense,

While our ancestors have been around for about six million years, the modern form of humans only evolved about 200,000 years ago. Civilization as we know it is only about 6,000 years old, and industrialization started in the earnest only in the 1800s.

So 200,000 years ago we decided the Earth was ours and ours alone and since then we have set about killing everything that upsets our senses,

Since the 16th century, humans have driven at least 680 vertebrate species to extinction, including the Pinta Island tortoise. The last known animal of this subspecies, a giant tortoise nicknamed Lonesome George, died at the Galapagos National Park in Ecuador in 2012.

Maybe read these before you hammer another nail in the human created Animal Extinction Coffin.

That last sentence says it all where humanity is concerned aye!
"everything has its place in the bush but when one over powers the others they need to be thinned out not wiped out"

I have no objection to protecting your cattle, sheep chickens from IMEDIATE threat by predators but to simply go out to hunt down and exterminate any creature that is surviving by the same natural means as it has for the past 65,000,000 years because you think it should not eat other creatures is simply not right.
Cats and dogs and all other creatures do not have a native country that is relevant today unless you trace back many millions of years and even then you will be struggling to determine where that country of origin was and where it was it no longer is. Everything has shifted and life of all kinds has travelled everywhere into all lands and oceans where it can survive naturally.

I dunno, Maybe if all the life that ever existed on this planet was still here then we would not be.

Large 6 foot male roo's protecting their harem give me the heebie-jeebies.
I've come across a few in the bush, they stand there and stare you down.
I'm very good at walking backwards and at the same time looking for a good tree to climb.
Those boys can get nasty affraid

when I was a young buck a so called friendly Roo at a park gave me a good clawing.
As we know there's plenty of media reports of Roo attacks.
Keep your distance!

Next thing emus will be stalking us, echidnas setting traps and crows picking our eyes out.
Get out of the rat race and see the real world without the myths.

I had to laugh today I was wandering around in the dangerous bush fighting off roo's and sparrows
and had a thought, what is the most dangerous animal in Australia for attacks?
Answer, the domestic dog? ,your average joe blow mongrel. The article below doesn't account for amount of dog bites without fatalities

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fatal_dog_attacks

"The Australian Companion Animal Council Inc. has estimated that more than 100,000 persons in Australia are attacked by dogs each year, with an estimated 12,000–14,000 individuals requiring treatment for dog bite injuries, and around 10% of those being hospitalised each year"

Safer in the bush than in the urban areas? get out while you can What a Face Laughing Laughing

Now that you mention about emus Pete, I once had an emu chase me around my vehicle when I got back to it and after putting my detector in the back of the vehicle. This was near Beaufort here in Victoria. Shocked Embarassed

Mike, You can almost guarantee there was a clutch of eggs nearby.
Once road on my motorbike into a flock of young emus (about a metre tall) Dad was leading the pack and was amazed how they can "thump a foot warning" without missing a stride.
Another day I drove into a clearing and old man emu was running around in circles thumping his feet. Stopped and watched and tried to fathom out why he was carrying on like this.
Then I observed an eagle circling overhead. Sat and watched for about 10 minutes until the eagle flew off.
Then out of the undergrowth a number of emu chicks emerged from where they were hiding.

Moredeep,
The sneaky buggas are notorious in the parks, pinching snacks out of kids and adults hands. Never heard of anyone being harmed though.
