I too will accept your apology for your petty endeavours to manipulate the facts.

Perhaps now you would like to contribute something of value to the debate "A Culling Bloody Shame" or have you et al merely arrived here to trash yet another animal welfare thread and to spew more venom?

Here is just a little food for thought.

Have any of you seen what happens to a young family with children on board when a kangaroo comes through the windscreen of a car?

I think that vision might just change your views on culling.

I have seen it, and not a pretty site.

When human safety is an issue, Sorry Skippy.

So dickie, did they wipe them all out in 2002 or what?

dickie: << or have you et al merely arrived here to trash yet another animal welfare thread and to spew more venom? >>

If you'd bothered to read the previous comments before you "arrived" on this thread, you'd know that I'd expressed my opinion last Wednesday.

Meanwhile, you need to tone down and learn how to add up numbers. You're not doing your cause any great favours by continuing to spout bulldust, I'm afraid.

*Here is the link where you can advise the author of her error:*

The question is Dickie, why on earth would you quote an author
from animal liberation, who gets her statistics so screwed up
that she does not know the difference between sheep and cattle?

Just because something appears on a website, does not mean
it is true.

If you knew that the statistics were crapola, why try and
hoodwink the rest of us? Your credibilty goes out the window,
along with that of the author. Animal libs are not exactly known
for letting the truth get in the way of a good story, as we have
shown before.

Hi again all

In support of Dickie, I'd suggest that Yabby only has to see the words "animal", "liberation", or "rights" anywhere near each other to automatically declare the content of any research worthless, regardless of how well it is referenced and scientifically established. It is odd therefore that he believes without question the gospel of MLA about its Middle Eastern activities, despite all evidence to the contrary.

While on occasion his contributions have some merit, his last post does demonstrate the astonishing ability he has to see and believe what he wants to see and believe.

I personally believe that if a kangaroo comes through the windscreen of a car, someone is not driving very carefully, given the knowledge we have about the behaviour of the species. I have alarms on my car, but still drive at dusk with my heart in my mouth, and slowly. It is a almost always a matter of due care and attention, and I do a lot of dusk and night driving.

This cull though - the writer of the article cited by Dickie said it all really, When an animal is cute and cuddly, or in some other way extraordinary, it is amazing the lengths people will go to to protect it. But what about the millions of animals hauled off to slaughter that these people happily eat every day? And once an animal interferes with human greed and profit and is declared to be a "pest" no-one cares how cruel the methods of "control" used are.
