The problem is is that the Department is required by law/statute/mandate(I am usure of the correct term) to eliminate pests and Deer/Thar/Cham/Goats/Pigs are listed as noxious animals/pests and as such MUST be exterminated.

What needs to change is the status of these animals away from pest and towards game.

Even tho it is illegal to target large mammals with 1080 poison we all know it is done deliberately and a Mast year or some piss week possum/rat excuse is used to cover arse.
DOC are REQUIRED to control pests.
Lets put our efforts and voices into changing our game animals status to one they deserve and a large part of our poisoning problem(as many hunters see it) will disappear.
