And it was accidently proven how effective it can be on Red deer on Molesworth a few years ago, everyone involved in that operation was horrified at the outcome of that operation.

its not licensed for use on ungulates. And the public would never allow it. Molesworth was a shambles but the silver lining was the increased acceptance and use of repellent and adjustments in sewing rates.

Agree, it's not licenced but they know it works. As so many on here keep stating, Govt. departments can be a law onto themselves and fuck the general public. I don't believe it will happen but who knows?
