DEAR News Of The Area,
In response to “EPA investigates more Brush Turkey deaths”, p2, 29 August edition.
I get it… Brush Turkeys are not the best looking birds and have some annoying habits, like digging.
But, we do have laws, which we hope will deter the malicious killing of our indigenous species.
Brush Turkeys are the most ancient of the Megapods, millions of years old.
They are a totem for Indigenous people and are vital for the maintenance of our local ecosystems.
Its needless suffering on an innocent animal which I hope will cease.
Regards,
Zoe DEFTEROS
