o sung wu,

There is an agreed Standard for roo slaughter and it is detailed in the link I provided earlier. There are no 'ifs' or 'buts' where not doing it right and legally is concerned and it is very well policed with cooperation by farmers and R Licence hunters.

Some of the fervent s_ stirring multicults here could take a look at ritual slaughter, where no-one is happy with what is going on, particularly the continued slaughter on non-stunned sheep in small works and by individual ethnic butchers and individuals.

They should re-consider too, their support of very cruel slaughter and live game storage techniques by Aborigines.

Paul1405, a typical 'Protest Party' Green, is tops at diverting threads. The Greens are great at throwing mud, but they are never held accountable themselves - a total lack of principles and ethics.

Toni,

Yes, pedantry is one of my habits as is accuracy.

The piping shrike is indeed illusive, possibly the origin of "Crow Eaters" for South Australians.

Hi Is Mise,

From official government you know what;

Symbols of Australia's six states appear together on the shield, which is the central feature of a COAT OF ARMS. The border of the shield symbolises federation. The KANGAROO and emu are the native animals that hold the shield with pride.Jun 29, 2015.

How are we going to EDUMACATE YOU! Are you starting school this year or next. You will enjoy kindy, I enjoyed it so much they let me repeat it 8 years in a row, before I graduated, but that's another john dory! You are possibly confusing Australia's coat of arms with the intro you watched for so many MGM movie (see link below), or was it in the good old days when you worked at the circus as Coco The Clown, you might have walked past the lions cage and thought it was the Aussie coat of arms. No matter, I have straitened you out once more.

From 'The Age' September 2015.

'Spot' the kangaroo survives 9 days with crossbow arrow through his head.

Wildlife Victoria spokeswoman Amy Amato said it was hoped he could be released back into the wild within six weeks. "But he's not out of the woods yet," she said.
Resident Mr Smith said he called police on August 12 to report seeing two men dressed in camouflage and carrying crossbows on his Ashbourne property. When police attended the property, Mr Smith said the men had claimed to be "target shooting".

He said what had happened to Spot was "very distressing" for the local community.
"It makes me angry - such recklessness, irresponsibility and disregard for wildlife and people's property," he said.

Brothers James and Robert Calleja, both of Sunbury, were charged with trespass and animal cruelty offences after allegedly shooting Spot in the head with a cross bow on private property in the Macedon Ranges in Victoria in August 2015.

These grubs deserve jail time!

p/s They failed to front court on the due date, a warrent was issued for their arrest

No, the shield is the central feature of a heraldic achievement.

From wikipedia:

"A coat of arms is a unique heraldic design on an escutcheon (i.e. shield), surcoat, or tabard. The coat of arms on an escutcheon forms the central element of the full heraldic achievement which consists of shield, supporters, crest, and motto."

"An achievement comprises not only the armorials themselves displayed on the Escutcheon, the central element, but also the following elements surrounding it:..."

"Sometimes the term coat of arms is used to refer to the full achievement, but this usage is wrong in a strict sense of heraldic terminology."

Some nerds really love their heraldry, and in this case I believe wikipedia to be a more reliable source than some drongo who's probably never even heard of the SCA.

Hi Toni, are we now talking about King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table?

Is Mise will you please comment on the actions of the KKK (the Kangaroo Killing Klowns) in the above story. I am most interest on your spin on the whole sorry and cruel episode. Before Beach hijacks the thread again and bags The Greens etc as he does on all threads.

p/s Do you still have that cookbook of yours 'Road Kill Recipes for the Bad Shot' I might have the name wrong, but you did post it once or twice. How are sales
