The ETU, along with other unions in the broader ORAG team, welcome the Allan Government’s announcement of the continuation of duck and quail season in Victoria.

However, it illustrates how cruel and unacceptable the baiting of animals such as wild deer is.

You don't poison food.

@RossAndRussel The video was filmed a few years ago on Wilsons Prom. The poison was hung from a star picket at the head height of a hog deer. It was described as a smelly white paste.

It's unknown if this was deliberate; we would like to think not.

The sound management of wild deer and public land access for recreational hunting has been popular this week.

Recreational hunting plays a vital role in deer management and delivers better health outcomes and connections to nature for participants.

@abcmelbourne Julie demonstrates that fencing provides a valid means of managing wild deer
This can be complemented by other management efforts, such as harvesting deer that realise their value as a wild, sustainable resource.

The draft of the National feral (sic) deer action plan provides cause for concern.

Helicopter net gunning is commonly used to capture N American deer for GPS collaring etc, but can it be safe & useful for fallow deer, under Aussie conditions?
Sure can :) Surprised no-one gave it a proper go before we did.

@adamburling Again with ad hom. Speaks to bias and narrowness of thought that appears to have predicated and permeated the flawed, would be ‘strategy’. Unsurprising with that mindset that BBF got it so wrong. Disappointing because the author is not without skills, but rubbish in = rubbish out

Alternative headline - "Brown begins with false assumption and ends with false conclusion" https://t.co/g61T0tVZsd Land practices, not rhetoric are big driver in expansion Bob. Oh...and that's a roe deer in the pic, they're in England, not Tassie! #politas https://t.co/7a1LcKe7Rt

@adamburling We have not lied. Your statement is false and defamatory. You should correct it.

[ADA The Deer People @ADADeerPeople]

@adamburling A tree of antlers at a Christmas party. Nice find! Our point is actually about the flawed premise of the 'so called' strategy (and further of false, unsupported and exaggerated rhetoric). It contains some decent principles but is narrow, biased and will, deservedly, go nowhere.

[ADA The Deer People @ADADeerPeople]

@adamburling And they are not, by definition "feral". You can argue that they are a "pest" or even "vermin" but you don't get to redefine words. That is a semantic argument and peripheral to the fantasy piece that BB is peddling as a realistic strategy.

The Bob Brown Foundation has today released a report purporting to be a “Feral (sic) deer strategy for Tasmania”. It is a viable strategy for Tasmania in the same way that Star Wars is an accurate documentary about the 1969 moon landing. #Politas https://t.co/g61T0tVZsd
