Like gov't has a tendency to do, they would probably just use this case
as yet further evidence to support their policy towards not allowing any
exports of Aust wildlife at all. IMHO, I think that we should take care
of this Canadian guy ourselves, through spreading the word of his
practices among his potential customers, and also to his supplier there
in Oz. Economics is a powerful force, and we can make it work for us just
as easily (and most likely, much less painfully) than letting the
gov't do our dirty work. Lets just work to put the fool out of business
and show others that we won't stand for those who practice that sort of
underhanded dealing.
What's say?
