Maverick Catman
John Wamsley is a man with a mission: to become Australia's biggest private landowner and rid the nation of feral animals. He says it is the only way to save our wildlife, but many conservationists disagree. The concept is simple - fence off an area of bush, kill all the feral cats and foxes, release a range of native mammals and watch them multiply. For some he's a right-wing madman more intent on building his own empire than saving endangered species. Almost as passionate as his hatred of cats is Wamsley's smouldering disrespect for National Parks and Wildlife Departments, zoos and other conservation groups - anyone who gets in the way of him achieving his goal.
