Hehe, I love it :)

Nicky it is called the long paddock. Cockies leave home for months following the narrow ribbon of green adjacent to the roadways so their animals can eat. Eating meals and sleeping in conditions not fit for our undocumented refugees, away from their families and consumed with worry.

Myopinion failed to mention the awful suicide rate of our rural males. Not headline worthy in Politically Correct Sydney, 400 kangaroos on the other hand is a major issue. Our society has lost its way.

In regards to part of Cowboy Joe's comment of suicides of rural males. He is correct. I am fully aware of the suicides of males in rural Australia. It is not a lack of concern on my part that this very important problem wasn't addressed in my posts. What I was trying to do, was show on a large scale, that far more pressing problems are in this country and the world than the culling of 400 roo's when the species is not even endangered. And yes, male suicides in rural Australia is definitely one of the more important issues.

The locals of Kununurra in the Kimberleys are fighting the invasion of the cane toad from the NT around the clock, and yet hardly even rate a mention in the press. And yet these "over the top, zealous, misinformed greenies" are raving on about this culling like it is the end of civilization as we know it. If they researched what the cane toads have done to the environment in Queensland and the NT well then they might have some sympathy for the wildlife here if they get a foothold. But I suppose the control of cane toads is about killing and all they're interested in is saving life and so it doesn't effect them. Talk about wrong priorities!!

I recently encountered two roadkill Proserpine rock wallabies side by side near Airlie Beach. I stopped and took photos and reported it to the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service.

I dare say that these two deaths were considerably more significant than the culling of 400 egroos (eastern greys) in the ACT.

All very concerning gentlemen though hardly relevant to the contents of the author's thread - "A Culling Bloody Shame."

If you'd prefer to debate these other important issues , why not commence a thread of your own rather than take this debate off topic or resort to the ad-homs?

I'm sure we'd all be happy to participate and I would be especially interested in WA's 362 threatened plants, 199 threatened animals and 69 threatened ecological communities where this mismanagement has seen WA officially listed amongst the world's worst environmental hotspots.

Cheers

Dickie, why do you want to uphold such a narrow focus? What is wrong with presenting a broader perspective? What is wrong a poster mentioning anything that they feel is connected to the subject of the thread?
