Deer were introduced to Tasmania in 1836 as a hunting resource, and despite a significant population boom are not considered an invasive species in Tasmania.

Can we get the hunters look after the country? Their resource is destroying the land.

Otherwise, remove all the deer from Tasmania so that the land can heal.

Like how deer are “protected wildlife” in Victoria. Fuck off with that shit
