While i was looking for a poem this morning, i came accross this article...
Warning, this gets a bit ranty...
Im gobsmacked...!!...to avoid my rant go to the link at the bottom of my post...
Obviously i dont get out much, because ive never heard of this Mob referred to in the article...infact i googled the name (im not going to publish the link for reasons that should be obvious), but the first thingf i looked for was what the letters/acronym stands for & cant even find that being readily visible on the site...
Anyway...i wonder if the industry, our Government, or a coalition of such actually do anything to combat this movement...!!
I mean, im all for the protection of animal rights particularly in regards to cruelty, & im not even a fan of killing Kangaroos, but the bottom line is that we have a byproduct of our sheep & cattle industry here in Australia...that being feral dogs that create havoc, & a kangaroo population that runs up in huge numbers because the natural pressures that keep them in check, have been removed by our capatilist farming practices.
So why do we have the potential for an industry in roos here in Aust, & yet we allow this to happen...???
Seriosly...to a large point, i blame ourselves for allowing this, other similar type sh!t to happen...!!...like our gun laws--we can walk around with a Tikka & as many 10 round mags strapped to our belt as we like, but we cant have pump shotty with 5 shots stuffed in the forend...
Is this a kind of deranged mentality version of "Herd Immunity" we suffer from...?
Instead of holding back on stupidly high wage levels dictated by the over-entitled & creating industries with the free product at our feet, we allow uneducated totalitarians to sell our dirt for a one off cheap as chips price, , import Cane Toads, , flood our landscape with god only knows how many strains of untested virus, , & pay more for our own bloody lamb & Gas than they pay in other countries.. .
Maybe its just me, but im sick to death of what we're becoming...And...AND you know what---when i went through the Hungy Jacks drive through last time i left the city to go shooting, i payed with EFTPOS & had to input my PIN after selecting the account--(note i said "EFTPOS"--not "EFTPOST", or "EFTPOS Electronic Funds Transfer (at) Point Of Sale")..
ANd when i selected my account...i had to select "CHECK"---yes thats right...!!...My "Cheque" account is recoginsed now as "CHECK" account...but i guess thats representative of what we're becoming...
