Traditional owners and environmental groups are calling out the South Australian authorities for permitting the killing of southern hairy-nosed wombats on the Yorke Peninsula.
This permit allows farmers under laws to kill ‘abundant wildlife’ which are ‘causing damage’.
Member of Humane Society International Evan Quartermain says ‘there is no excuse for the permit, considering there are simple solutions to prevent damage such as wombat gates.
Narungga rights over the Yorke Peninsula is set to be heard in a federal court hearing in June.
