Australia, until 1960s, Aborigines came under the Flora And Fauna Act, classified them as animals, not human beings.
Kathleen T said: I'm an Aboriginal Woman and I will say this ,
our people were slaughtered, raped, tortured, ripped from their homelands (the bush) and taken into camps that were called
"Missions" where our strong Aboriginal Men were stripped down to nothing, mentally, physically, spiritually & psychologically, the settlers did this knowing that if they could break the men the whole race would fall and they would be able to breed us out, which was their objection!

Our women and children were victims of horrific and unspeakable acts, taken from their mothers the children were raised in camps treated with lesser respect than a dog receives, they are and will forever be known as the stolen generation..,but, our people fought back and finally after only a couple hundred years, even less than that, we are finally starting to recieve the Respect we deserve, and the "white man" or the "gubbament" are realising that our
Ancestors weren't animals or "flora & fauna" but were actually a race of highly intelligent yet simple people, who took care of their homelands and in turn were taken care of from the land, we knew where to hunt, where to make camp, what seasons the animals were in, we knew how to build a fire before any white man knew how to cook a decent meal!
We were an ancient, very strong, proud and traditional people who had our own lore (law) we had our tribal elders and chiefs and hunters and gatherers, medicine man, magic man & so much more. The animals were our totems and still are, and we are a fighting nation of people who have never given up on our cause, so people i say dont feel bad for us anymore because we are no longer victims but survivors and we will continue to survive for another 40,000 years! Peace

I've found various academic papers online over the years, written by college or grad students. They've said that white Australians could get hunting licenses to hunt Aborigines. I haven't really been able to confirm with a solid source But I haven't tried lately either.
But classifying these people as "flora and fauna?" That would go a long way toward making the hunting of human beings possible, wouldn't it?
