20.01.2022 Current Government policy directly leads to more than 15,000 premium venison carcasses being thrown into pits to rot. No-one likes the waste, but as deer numbers escalate, so does the amount of waste.

19.01.2022 Current projections put feral deer numbers in Tasmania on track to top 1,000,000 by 2050 unless the State Government removes the species antiquated semi-protected status. Meanwile, feral deer are causing widespread damage to crops and our wilderness areas. The Government can easily change its policy to allow commercialisation of the current culling program.

15.01.2022 Farming in Tasmania is all about our clean, green brand. No farmer likes to see the waste but the Government's refusal to consider the option of incentivising hunters to cull the feral deer is not just denying farmers a potentially cost neutral method of protecting their crops, but contributes to an extraordinary waste that has absolutely no social licence.

12.01.2022 Wild deer killed under Tasmania's antiquated laws around wild deer cannot be sold commercially for pet food or human consumption. When farmers want to protect their crops from increasing herds of deer, the law means that around 15,000 deer are killed every year and left to rot. At a time like now, that is a lot of food.

08.01.2022 Under the current system fallow deer, a species introduced into Tasmania in 1835 as a hunting stock, remains a semi-protected species, with severe limitations on when and how it can be killed, and serious fines for those who flout the law.

05.01.2022 Eve Lazarus from the Derwent Catchment Project explains the devastating impact feral deer are having on our native vegetation. A scientific study in the midlands has shown that over seven years, herds of deer have left behind just a "smashed mess."

01.01.2022 In case you missed it in the news on 7 last night: the State Government's policy is bluntly refusing even to consider an economic opportunity at a time like now when any common sense approach would be to be putting everything on the table.
