    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, from the outset I am opposing those amendments. These two terms are management tools. “Culling” is a management tool that is practised in national parks, whereby if by any chance wildlife species increase beyond the carrying capacity then it is the responsibility of the competent authority to use scientific means to remove certain animals that are not viable or that will not affect the population of that species. This is purely a management tool. “Cropping” is also a management tool particularly in ranches and private land where, again, if species increase beyond the carrying capacity then it is the responsibility of the competent authority to give advice to the land owner or the land owner to seek authority from the competent authority to be able to crop and reduce the numbers. This is a normal practice. Even in a normal ranch, when livestock increases to a certain level there must be off-take so that you continue, otherwise you will completely run down the ecosystem and eventually the whole population will crash and you will lose everything. So, I oppose."
