Wombats are able to be slaughtered by landholders too however they must kill wombats abiding by the current Code of Practice for the Humane Destruction of Wombats in SA. This code is also outdated as baby wombats must be bludgeoned and decapitated however adult wombats are required to be shot between the ear and the eye. Imagine what would happen if footage was released of baby wombats being decapitated! Every law protecting these beautiful animals requires reviewing including the reasons why destruction permits are issued.
