Simon Corbell battles pest animals

It’s a waste of time talking about the problem; the thing to do is action it.
This method would be a good start:

I wonder if there is a larger model available?

If so, ACT Housing could be interested as it could solve some problems ridding the system of defaulting tenants.

Ace! Do you need a licence to buy one of those? They look like exactly what we need.

Actually, all jokes aside there have been some successful joint ventures between government and the Sporting Shooters Association of Australia which have aided in the removal of feral animals in several cases; the most notable is the flinders ranges bounce back program which has removed tens of thousands of feral goats and has resulted in an almost full generation of the target areas.

Tho I shudder to think of the public reaction to such a venture; the verbal bashing that shooters get in this town is absurd.

More importantly I think that people need to start to realise that a lot of these feral pests are quite tasty and can be/should be hunted for food. Interestingly I noticed that Coles is selling whole wild (read Feral) rabbit for $19.50 a kg; but you could get the same on a 5 minute walk on Mt Ainslie with a ferret.

I’d like to see some serious investigation into how we can turn carp into a half decent meal. For examples, fishcakes?

And we could market it as ‘Soylent Green’ !

Don’t thank me. Thank Google.

I had a roast carp with red beans and chili with a thick soy based sauce some years ago in China . I was surprised at how sweet the flesh is.

I have equipment that can deal with anything from rabbits to moose, and I’d be happy to offer my services to Mr. Corbell.

Ditto. Although given the attitude of ACT Labor and the Greens to gun owners, l doubt they would even consider shooting by licenced gun owners as part of the solution.
