Shooting makes parks unsafe

The State Labor Government, to their credit, would not allow hunting in national parks.

Now, unfortunately, the Liberal Government has allowed the practice.

Shooting animals, like smoking tobacco, is legal, so little can be done unless the law is changed.

It is just another case of a minority group usurping the rights of the majority.

No longer will it be safe for bushwalkers, sightseers, tourists and naturalists to visit national parks.

Naturalists will feel it particularly, as wild animals will become more scarce and more secretive.
