    I blame the British empire for all 3 pests except maybe the 4th one but then again if We use cats then they'll kill other species as well so unless We can nueture and put tracking devices on 10 million stray cats then maybe the move pandemic will take a heavy blow but then again well have to somehow make them not eat any other species tho

Like in Newfoundland where a few moose were introduced for hunting and now there are thousands of animals there.

    As an Australian, involved in agriculture and as someone whom has been involved in a emu cull, i would love for you all to realise that 1. Emu's are Australian natives, 2. Kangaroos decimate more cropping and grazing country than Emu's, 3. neither of these animals are considered pest species, although since the introduction of European farming, grazing and water harvesting and storage practices for livestock both species have grown in number to the point that they can not sustain them selves in drought times so both have become a commodity and are harvested commercially. The Cane toads have spread across the top end, but now some native species of birds and some mammals have now evolved to be able to eat them. The Rabbit Population across Australia has massively decreased since the introduction of the recent strain of Colici Virus much faster spreading than Mixo as Colici is spread by Fly populations in spring and early summer. Also worthy of note is that Feral Cat's are the number 1 public enemy of Australian pest species and are responsible for the extinction of at-least 2 native species. Get your facts correct, you can find all the current information through our State and national environment and water government departments, whom i work closely with.

    I actually did a promotional study on a relevant subject. We were studying whether lowering the capture/hunt of muskrats would have any negative effects at all, because theoretically, removing a certain amount of individuals would simply let the remaining ones thrive, unless you remove a LOT of them. Basically, shooting any number of emu that aren't a significant portion of them, would just increase the population growth of what's left.

    It's near impossible to explain to a non-Australian just how indestructible these birds are, and just how stupid they are. You can be driving 110k/hr on a rural highway, and out of nowhere an emu will run into your car thinking that's the best way to escape. I believe one emu was found after the "war" with over 30 bullets in it, and it was still alive. They just can't be killed. I grew up in Perth and we'd never heard of the Emu War until foreigners on the internet started talking about it. It was like a national secret or something.

Someone feeds Garfield, their 12 year old Tabby, after an expensive resolution to its latest bout of vomitting and steps outside to see a random cat get destroyed by an arrow. It would seem strange if they were perfectly happy, even knowing that wild cats have led to the disappearance of many local birds. Objectively, we would be better off with a feral cat hunting season but the backlash from all the people who attach the faces of every cat they ever loved to wild extinction machines prevents that from ever being a reality.

    Aussies lost wars against emus, toads, rabbits, spiders and now mice... I came to the conclusion that the Aussies are all vegans, no exception.

    My grandfather is 82 and has been a farmer all his life. He told me that before the Kalisi virus was released it wasn't uncommon to see so many rabbits in one place that you couldn't see the ground. Him and his mates would go hunting and it would be a bad night if they didn't shoot at least 50 rabbits. In comparision a good night rabbit hunting in 2020s is 2-3.

    Rabbits were pretty terrible back in the day. The only thing that really stopped them was drought, but in the wet years they could potentially eat through most of a farmers crop in a relatively short period. This is why they were referred to as the ''living drought''. Whats more, because they ate through all of the grass and ground cover plants it would expose the soils, leading to degradation of the land and desertification. Drifting sand dunes was sometimes attributed to their prolific eating.
