I think the thing to focus on is that people pay to climb something that is of religious importance to Aboriginal people and ignore the fact that they're climbing a what is essentially a sacred object to them.

Can you imagine paying to climb the Vatican? Tourists are lame.

But here in VA, there are so many deer that if we weren't hitting them with our cars, a lot of them would starve. Still the fault of people though, as we killed off their natural predators by developing the land so much.
We have an over population as well I just think hunting deer in a small fenced in area is not much more than playing a hunting game on XBox 360...and people pay thousands to do this...but I also live here and I am not rich so it is easy for me to be biased.

Oh man, I would totally pay to climb the Vatican. That would be so much more fun than the boring-ass tours they have there.
