Save the Aussie Foxes!

[RoginaJack]

I'm seriously considering putting a submission together for Federal Government funding a program on capturing, training, and releasing (CTNL) foxes back into the wild.

I anticipate that initially setup costs, finding suitable land and buildings would be approximately 2 - 2.5 million with ongoing costs about 1/2 million per year.

The aim of the project would be to capture foxes, train and release them back into the wild with the aim to locate Cane Toads and eat them. This way it should rid the country of 2 feral pests in one go.

Ant thoughts?

Probably not as stupid as some of the things that get funded by the government. Come up with any hair-brained idea and tell them it's to do with "climate change" and your set.
There was a recent indigenous housing program in a town a few hours north-west of here that ran @ $200 million. That is in a town of < 1000 people.

I built six $110K houses in '93 on a community in the Kimberley with a population of under 300...

Up this way, the mob are screaming about LOW Koalas numbers, threatened, endangered, close to extinction etc....
