In 1980, there were about 50,000 feral deer in Australia and by 2002 the population was estimated to have grown to 200,000. Now, the population is likely to have reached more than 2 million.
Saying it’ll be the “next rabbit” etc.
Knew we had them, never knew they were becoming such a huge pest.
Statute of limitations, I used to work for a butcher.
They did occasionally butcher a buck or two for a buck or two, which was not HACCP certified.
They also used to have an annual holiday to the NT for goat culls. The carcasses would be dressed and frozen, progressively on-sold to the Halal butchers cheap (even though they weren’t dressed as Halal).
I know that other local butchers in the region did even more dodgy stuff, a few were closed down, and the Halal and Kosher butchers were just as bad, if not worse (their customers had higher expectations for them).
