"The sustainable consumptive use of wildlife is the single biggest scientific lie that we have faced in modern history," she said.


Hmmmm....... she doesn't suggest what to do with all the crocs that are caught.

 

[waruikazi]

She's not real bright with these issues is she...

 

[-Katana-]

Says she with her own croc farm.

 

[SteveNT]

Time for a swim with the stingrays?

 

[-Katana-]

I guess she's exploited Bindi to the point of media saturation, Bob is still too young to dance on cue and she keeps killing the endangered animals she buys in, so the poor dear has to make a buck somehow.

Looks like Hoser may have some competition for the title of Australia's Most Embarrassing Herper this year.

What sort of animals is she killing?

 

[-Katana-]

Darwin's tortoise and a white rhino.

 

[Darlyn]

Can't see why they let her keep getting them if she has a bad track record.
I assume she has qualified vets on staff, doesn't say much about their abilities.

Darwin's tortoise and a white rhino.

I thought it was 2 white rhino's

I'd heard they bought a pair and they just deteriorated from when they got them in, even with the overseas experts with them, then she got two more in, and they're still alive.

but no I don't believe she has a handle on the issues........Does she even have a scientific degree or background to comment on scientific lies?

 

[SteveNT]

A scientific degree doesn't necessarily denote intelligence. Just look at the rubbish Prof. Bowman trotted out about introducing komodos and elephants to solve our feral issues! Maybe they could get together?

 

[jedi_339]

If you are going to accuse the established well documented ideas as being lies it often pays to understand what you are talking about, when studying wildlife management it covers sustainable harvesting of animals in a fair bit of detail, that's what I was getting at, Prof Bowman was just out to get his name in a journal, I personally think it did his credibility more harm then anything.

People without degrees can and often are more in tune with the processes in the real world, but this is purely an emotional topic for her with no basing in reality.

Just my opinion

What credibility? Why do you think he moved from Darwin to Hobart. He was a laughing stock here!
