I haven't culled Donkey myself. I have freinds that have shot them.
I am way far south of the Crocodile s .
They are often used as baits for fox and Dingo baits but it you shot a few that would do a good amount of bait and if too many donkeys are around people might shoot the lot while they see them.
Not everyone eats Kangaroo, property owners probably don't eat too, donkey emu (greasy), goat or horse or feral pigs.
None of that is considered exotic or game meat to the masses and the property probably graze sheep or cattle by the thousand s so why eat the pests.
Deer are spread into areas that are more sparse, arid and remote. Hunters tend to take "game" meat but the rest are pests and shooters are shooting pests to get out bush and enjoy some hunting.
Myself I took a fallow deer for meet, first I ever shot technically a pest where I was. Pest /game ? Wild dear are introduced but "Hunters" do hunt public land and private land for game meat.
Some will catch and feed up wild pigs, some will take the meat but in many dry areas pigs are eating rotting dead animals and anything else they can get.
In areas with cropping pigs will eat crop and will take to grain readily top. I don't see Aussie feeding with corn and feeders like the US hunters, maybe some do but I doubt it's common but researchers and pest management are trialling many things with pigs and deer.
I don't think. Camel, Horse or Donkey are not widely eaten here. Some have done it but the majority probably don't consider it and most would turn there nose up.
Kangaroo is harvested for human consumption under nstrict guidelines but the bulk of commercially harvested Kangaroo meat goes to pet food.
Most Aussies don't seem to see it as a delicacy or game meat.
We have many Hunters in Australia but i think the typical American hunter seems to be more about the meat and game.
