The World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) contribution to correspondence states concern that "sharpshooters will be hunting camels in South Australia" because, "It is Impossible to ensure that animals are killed instantly . . . many will be severely wounded of suffer slow and painful deaths."
This condemnation of shooting continues "It is totally unacceptable for this to be justified on the grounds of it being the simplest, quickest or most cost effective way of dealing with camels encroaching on farms."
This is one of the fundamental principles the proves hunting with hounds to be more humane than shooting as a population management technique.
