There is a lady down south who breeds and releases Murray Darling carpets...that's a good idea in my opinion. They were once quite common, but are now rare due to white man, and she is restoring the population...
Sxereturn,
Can I ask who this woman is thats releasing these animals into the bush? Is it part of a study thats being undertaken? I surely hope it's just not some well intentioned but ill informed individual. Releasing additional animals into an already vulnerable population could do way more harm than good. Obviously she has addressed the cause of the population decline? Just simply releasing animals to without rectifying the cause of the problem is simply sentencing them to death. As I said, I sincerely hope this is part of legitimate research as releasing captive animals into the wild as well as very foolish is also very illegal.
Regards,
Splitmore
