Consider this scenario. Current camel population estimated at 1,500,000.
Shooters taking as much as can be used for pet meat currently and not reducing their numbers.
Proposed cull of an additional 100,000 head per year would not reduce this population only stop it growing any worse.
These additional carcases to be left where they fell. Can you imaging the stench while they decay and the amount of meat now available for other pests such as feral cats and wild dogs. Please don't ask where I heard this, and no I am not some sort of camel liberation greeny. I believe the feral herds have been allowed to multiply for too long now but just maybe we will be creating a favourable environment for other pest numbers to grow. What's the answer? Apparently current estimates put the feral cat numbers at (on average) one moggy for every 1.5 square kilometers of Australian mainland at the moment.
