Yes, I was wondering who was doing it... MN1? You mean Member #1 is doing this for a living?

From what I understand it is being led by the "Bounceback" people which is an internal group, but whether they wield the weaponry or just manage the footsoldiers, I don't know.

Could be a big bunch of helicopters and things rounding up goats, pigs, cats and other ferals.

Cheers
Andrew.

"You mean Member #1 is doing this for a living? "

No mate. Just thought SA might have the same sort of deal as NSW where specially licensed hunters assist with the removal of ferals from NPs etc.

I'd guess that they do.

I've seen the same arrangements in Qld - at least there they don't close the parks, at least not the ones I was in.

Better safe than sorry. I can just imagine the headlines etc if there was an accident or a near miss.

Looks like most are only closed for a couple of days. Those that are closed longer may be known to have a bigger problem or be more difficult to operate in.
