Meat harvested from culling programs of boar, goat, venison and even wallaby could be a fine dining solution to a waste of protein, but a successful industry could be in danger of undermining itself if populations fall.
"A pie is one of the most approachable things for most Australians. It's an iconic part of the diet," she said.
Ms Daily says the business aims to raise awareness around the importance of controlling invasive species — excepting the wallaby — and to actively contribute to reducing populations."We hope that we can grow and people will be supportive of what we're doing and we can help create an industry.
In other words, Dr Pirtle said if your conservation goal is to eradicate or tightly control an invasive species, then eventually the population is going to fall to a point where it undermines the market. General manager Tim Gale said meat harvesting strategies could be successful in reducing populations of certain species in certain areas, particularly in open country where aerial shooting was more effective."But it is another really valuable tool in the toolbox."Supplied: Tim GaleHe said introduced species like deer, tahr, chamois and pigs had value in New Zealand as a hunting target for meat, social activity and tourist dollars.
