Fox eradication debated after conference in Nerracoorte
Curious ideas surface on fox value as numbers rise in the south east and sightings occur in the north. District Councils met at Nerracoorte to discuss eradication and funding methods with a proposal to relax compulsory tax destruction clauses and lower the bonus from 2s 6d to 1s 5d. Mr Pick and allies argued foxes help control rabbits but damage sheep, favoring local landowners’ discretion in poisoning. The proposal passed.
