Best Answer

The Aborigines hunted wombats for food. After European settlement, the wombat was considered a pest by farmers. Since their near extinction, the Northern hairy-nosed wombat and all other wombat species have been protected by law. I am told that wombat meat is tough and chewy and their fur is not valuable or especially good for anything. Also, there are not enough of them to constitute a threat to anything, so there is no reason to kill them.
