What The?

Little Bambi had been orphaned, probably by amateur hunters who practise their sport legally in the Illawarra Escarpment Conservation Area.
"But there's no way you should kill a mother and leave its baby."
Under NSW Game Council guidelines hunters who kill a lactating female must "make every reasonable effort" to locate and shoot any young.
But animal welfare groups and pro-hunting advocates agree that in reality, finding an orphaned young is almost impossible.
Female deer, by nature, will hide their young at the first sense of danger and act as decoys to lead the threat away.
just can't imagine there is such a law. "to make every reasonable effort" and hunt their young down. disgusted.
