Permits are now available for hunting drones released by Animal Liberation to snoop on livestock producers.
The loopy group’s NSW spokesman Mark Pearson said this week his mob bought a six propellor Hexacopter from German company Cine Star for $14,000. The Cairns News’ consultant armourer recommends shooters use the following weaponry for bringing down a drone:
Under and over 12 gauge shotgun, modified and full choke, shot size 4 to 6
or for those good shots or higher altitude drones, any .30 calibre rifle preferably with open sights. For example a 300 Winchester magnum or 7mm Remington would be effective to 300 metres.
Alternatively mini-blimps or weather balloons filled with helium gas fixed by fishing line braid to ground stays can provide permanent protection over cattle yards.

Does this mob have authority to operate a pilot-less aircraft plus relevant licenses to fly the aircraft in and around controlled airspace for one?
It is a “Private Organisation” under the same corporate rules as a kids football club organisation, they are not government and have the same powers – “Bugger All”.
Pearson, who resides NSW Newcastle area in a refurbished church, obviously has assumed Messiah Mode now only awaiting “canonisation”.
He feeds from public donations and other funding to the Animal Liberation Organisation like our overloaded public servants bludging on taxpayers.
It is the “Mouse that Roars” and Pearson is “King Rat” – all noise no go machine.
