How were feral animals sent to Australia?
It depends on the specific feral animal. However, they fall into basically three categories: (1) those brought to Australia to make it more like England; (2) those brought for biocontrol reasons and (3) those accidently introduced. White settlers brought their animals for livestock and a number of these became feral (horses, cattle, goats, pigs etc). They also brought animals simply to feel more like "home" (i.e England) and there were acclimatisation societies established specifically for this purpose (rabbits, foxes, trout, salmon, many birds). A number of animals were brought to Australia to control other pests. The most famous is the cane toad, brought to control bettles in sugar cane. But mosquito fish were also brought for the same reason and other animals like Indian mynas and probably even cats were sprread for this reason. No one meant to bring mice and rats. They just hitchhiked, as did a number of fish in ballast water and probably a few birds. www.feral.typepad.com
