Having tried shooting out of a helicopter, I can't imagine where Mr. Peacock thinks it's going to be clean kills with humane head shots. His statement defies reason and personal experience. I do sympathize with the Aussie problem though. I wish them luck - camels aren't as prolific as rabbits but the environmental damage would have to be serious. McCamel will certainly be better than some of the other things McD's has been accused of using.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C)
