A confronting scene on the side of a rural Australian street has emphasized the devastating influence, an invasive and “torn” predator on the Australian landscape.
The “trophy fence” of a street that connects the rural cities of NSW NSW in Finley and Deniliquin is decorated with the car dusts of dozens of foxes, an Australian politician Yahoo News announces that it sends a strong message about the shocking problem across the country.
Helen Dalton, an independent member of Murray, described the scene as “gobscacking” and arranged for her demands for a bounty on foxes in NSW. She believes that the government should pay up to 20 US dollars per fox to control its population.
“A fox has nothing good,” she said to Yahoo News and added that the confronting picture “emphasizes how many there are in the area”.
“A message sends the government to get up and do something about it,” she said. “If you are really interested in the environment, organic security and farmers, you should have a bonus.”
Bounty for foxes to “pay for fuel and ammunition”
Dalton, who lives on a property near Griffith in the southwest of the state, says that it is a daily event in her area to discover a fox. She says that it has a significant impact on the regional communities because Foxes make young cattle victim and the farmers “have a fortune”.
It is estimated that there are around 80 percent of the continental land mass in Australia in the country more than 1.7 million ferral foxes after they have been transmitted by European settlers for the first time. It is also estimated that foxes kill around 300 million native mammals, birds and reptiles every year.
Dalton believes that a bonus Aussies with an arms license to shoot the invasive pest and argues that it will “save” the government's money.
The Victorian Fox Bounty, which was resumed on March 3, offers a reward of 14 US dollars for each FOX head skin, and Helen believes that it is an approach that could take place, although it believes that NSW shooters should receive 20 US dollars per fox.
“A bonus will pay for a little fuel and ammunition and justify why they should be out there,” she said. “It will save the government and the farmers will also save a fortune. A premium would encourage people to gain things that the government should do.”
Opposition to 'barbaric' tactics to curb invasive fox populations
Not everyone in Australia agrees with the president of the pest population. An animal attorney described it as “barbaric and archaic” with another leading expert for invasive pest control, who believed that it was a “waste of money”.
Andrew Cox, the CEO of the invasive species council, previously said to Yahoo: “It is not a clever use of government means. And there are more specific ways to control foxes that would have a greater influence.
“Foxes definitely have an impact on agriculture and the environment. But we have to use professional FOX controllers and bait programs. And so that no money inserted into programs that could easily be misused are not strategic and could actually promote the wrong behavior.”
Dalton said she didn't consider it “terrible and archaic”. She said it was an opportunity to “thank” those who take part in getting rid of pests.
