Sure, my view is that..... game is the deer species, tahr & chamois. Ferals are goats & pigs. I just find it an interesting discussion point that there is often different attitudes towards their respective welfare, personally I'm fairly neutral on it either way.
I think @username summed it up perfectly, "It's just about peoples hunting ethics and everyone's different."
These people are simply paying for an experience, I doubt ethics come into it for them in the same manner that they would for you and I.
Shame of it is, all the above are collectively viewed as pests by DOC & any control methods are entertained.
For me, the bigger issue here is the impact the 'commercial' helicopter operation is having spoiling peoples hard earnt trips into the wilderness on public land.
