Yep...nice to see someone who cares...
A nice touch at the end calling out the greedy opportunists...if his clip makes just one of them stop & think its a good thing...
Its confronting to see distressed animals...especially in such a vulnerable state like that, & knowing what they've been through...
Im a real softy & hope all the deer in his video, particularly that stag, (well--all wildlife that come out the other end of that) pull through & live the rest of their lives stress free.....& dont get shot...
Its very grounding to wander through something like that.
I did last time i was out...
Its amazing how virtually impenetrable scrub opens up after a fire...

Trouble is its all opened up now so cats & foxes get easy feeds cos the bunny's have to travel to feed...
Sadly i cant shoot the cats on this property...
This is only a small patch of mallee...nothing like in the vidoe posted here...but i saw a few sets of eyes in there at night that knew better than to hang around with me there protecting my last few bunny's...

Dont know what saying really...

Just expressing a bit of empathy in a moment of catharsis (or whatever its cslled) i spose...
