<span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt;">Abstract: </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt; color:black">This paper will explore the role and imaginary of the many advertisements put in Tasmanian newspapers throughout the 1940s concerning Tasmanian tigers
‘accidentally’ killed or captured. These advertisements were posted by the Fauna Board but countersigned by the Police Department and are a mixture of process and promise of reward. For every reason we can imagine, the idea of ‘accidentally’ catching a Tasmanian
tiger in 1945, seven years after what is now considered the last thylacine death in the Hobart Zoo seems risible now. But what work did these publicly circulated advertisements do? Influenced by Michael Taussig’s notion of the public secret and Thom van Dooren
and Deborah Bird Rose’s notion of the long and ‘dull edge’ of extinction, this mediated example brings together ideas about the cultural histories of extinction and their present effects.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt"></span></p>
