I love it! I know you’ve told us all the reasons these are pests, but they are so cool!
Officially they're called Flying Foxes for that reason, but fruitbat rolls off the tongue easier.And the head really looks canine. Most bats have scrunched up faces.
These also have a bad reputation that they don't really deserve.I love it! I know you’ve told us all the reasons these are pests, but they are so cool!
Someone started a similar scheme in rural Victoria, the simple fact that they were allowed to import deer in to Australia is a representation of just how corrupt governments in the eastern states are. The businesses that tried to breed deer for sport and for food all failed, and guess what they did when they couldn't afford to keep the deer any more.These are buck white-tailed deer. They are bred, fed and grown up north. This picture was taken in south Florida. The deer are released into an enclosed field and people pay thousands of dollars to come and shoot them.
The deer are native to Florida, but we have such poor grazing that the deer nor the antlers get anywhere near that big.Someone started a similar scheme in rural Victoria, the simple fact that they were allowed to import deer in to Australia is a representation of just how corrupt governments in the eastern states are.

Having the deer put down would have cost money when they're already broke, so they just let them go. Now it's costing the entire nation millions trying to eradicate another pest animal from our native bush.

It seems we never learn in some areas, quick dollars trumps sense. Another case of high intellect and no brains.Australia and the US seem to have similar problems with non-natives running amuck. A bigger crime in your case as an entire biological system has been crashed. I guess we’re responsible for Hawai’i too.
