Taurus29

I have been reading some of the comments and your idea of food labelling for dairy and meat products.

Thats not as silly as it sounds. People have a right to know where who and how the product was produced.

Maybe the animal rights could insist that the Ministers who support this intensive farming have their picture on the front of the pack of meat.

Cant you just imagine it. They could have Amanda up on the pork or perhaps you might be able to think of some other person

That ought to work as a deterrent.

So what do you think would be a good face for the poor old intensive poultry packs?

Anyway I thought your point was a valid one.

That other lady Rachelo6 seemed pretty spot on too.

I would just like to get the thread back on topic...

October 16th..Yabby said that kangaroos even though not locked aboard a ship would die slow horrible deaths(in drought conditions I assume he meant) anyway as opposed to sheep who are stowed aboard a ship living the life of Riley..ie fed, watered, regular pedicures and the like..

I mean..the furphy that kangaroos die slow horrible deaths simply isnt true...

Kangaroos are migratory animals and will travel 100s miles to follow rain and resulting feed...shooters know this too well.
So Yabby Im not sure what kind of roos you actually know on a personal basis , but not the same ones I know.

"who said the conditions are miserable'..I ask you then..who said they werent?

Taurus, when you have a largescale drought as now, you can hop as
long as you like, if other roos ate all the feed before you got there
you will still starve.

Talk to some people who really know whats going on in the bush,
not city slickers who pretend to know something or live out of
touch, on the Gold Coast.

Sure.. your right ,if that is, the drought were country wide, and it isnt..in regional NSW right now for instance where my sister lives, it is very green.This is where migrating roos end up..previuos to that it WAS bone dry.Its rare that the whole of a state is in drought crisis at the same time..if that were the case..roos would have died out a long time ago..as would many other species.
Its never been that the whole country has been bone dry all at the same time..and animals that can migrate ,do.

Why do assume that a person cannot have an opinion that is wholly their own Yabby?

How does the person who lives on the Goldcoast get dragged into everything.?Can you tell me that?

Taurus29 is spot on about the drought and the migratory habits of roos, it makes complete sense..for as he/she says if the drought were so severe as to obliterate all plain feeding animals then it would have happened long ago and we wouldnt now be discussing it.

This is not the only drought that has been this severe and Im sure in the last thousand years or so, there has been worse...

Perhaps you might find it more helpful to ask Antje Struthmann any question you may have on Roos. You may see some of Antjes work by clicking on the above link.
Antje known internationally as the Marsupial Whisperer is resonsible for the draft plan for the new Harvesting accreditations by kick starting the project which was spear headed through by RSPCA QLD CEOMr Mark Townend.

Mark who also works tirelessly with many special projects towards improving animal welfare was able to take Antjes information and put it into practise by way of a new law.
Any questions re Roos I know she would welcome.

Antje now works on special projects on the Gold Coast. Such as the ban Live Export campaign in conjuction with RSPCA QLD
