[QUOTE="CornishTone, post: 5584900, member: 4147"] I do agree with some of that. I’ve been shooting with work colleagues and, I think I’ve told the tale before, they came across a family of Emus (1 adult and 8-10 chicks) and wiped the lot of them out... slowly with poorly aimed shots. I’ve seen them gut shoot roo’s and just leave them to die. I wouldn’t even do that to a rabbit and did take the rifle off one of them and finish the job off with a the appropriate amount of name calling! I think with livestock there is a level of pragmatism that means they would rather let nature take its course than intervene, thus leaving more hardy genes. I Kiwi friend of mine back home is pretty bloody ruthless with his sheep. Any problems with feet, lambing etc and they go as soon as it practical. I’m not as livestock savvy so tend not to get involved in your livestock related discussions but that’s the impression I get. Margins are tight here so everything is to stand on its own 4 feet to some extent. [/QUOTE]
