Well I must be a baddie here.
I was bought up on a farm in western Victoria when rabbits were a real menace. Before the days of myxomatosis and 1080.  Rabbits were a real pest.

I had a 410 shotgun when I was 12 and shot hundreds of rabbits.

I've also shot wild deer for the venison, one of my favourite meats.


Then there is feral pigs. Been shooting them for many years, mainly from a helicopter. Dingos and wild dogs the same.
Pigs and dogs are major pests in many part of inland Australia.

Brown snakes and taipans too.

And I don't feel bad about any of it and don't intend to stop.

protecting your farm and the family

Don't think you are allowed to shoot dingos anymore though?

My grandfather was a dogger and he destroyed more vermin than just about anybody- camels, rabbits, dingoes, foxes, dogs, starlings, pidgeons... you name it he had a contract for it.  But the two things he taught us kids was that (1) even scabby old vermin should be dispatched promptly and cleanly and (2) no animal deserves to die for no apparent reason.  Old Alf would have been bewildered by the concept of "sporting shooting".

You must be missing something in your life. Go see a shrink would be my advice!

I agree with Carrots on this issue.

To me the word "issue" gets used far to often - there is no issue. The only "issue" is the one you have. They didn't break any laws and if you don't like it so be it. It isn't an "issue" but an opinion and just because you have one doesn't mean it's wrong or right. This is a opportunistic media beat up in my opinion and another example of the media now making news rather than reporting news.
