Paul I guess you do read a bit of others posts, before running off at the keyboard.

It is a pity you never bother to read them well enough to understand what others have written.

If you did, you may not make such a bleeding fool of yourself.

//Now how about King Arthur and the Knights of the round table, or any shaped table for that matter. How about those fellas got a coat of arms for them?//

Pretty sure that's already been covered by the people who made King Arthur stories. The only one I can remember off the top of my head is Sir Robin the Not-Quite-So-Brave-As-Sir-Lancelot, whose coat of arms features a chicken. But you can look the others up for yourself. Here's a website that might help:

Is Mise we have a couple of your galah shooters in the NSW parliament. You remember them, from The Shooters and Hooters Party, there is Tweedledum Bob and Tweedleevendumer Bob.

Hassy good to hear from ya, just an observation, lots of marginal land around Walgett for sheep farming. Over millions of years, kangaroos have been able to adapt to the harsh Australian environment and survive. Domesticated sheep had their origins about 10,000 years ago in what is now the Middle East. Without a great deal of human intervention sheep would not survive in most parts of Australia.Sheep failing in Australia during drought is not the fault of kangaroos, its the fault of man.

Spot on Paul, I just knew that you would see the logic in farming kangaroos.

Must be a bit of a shame though that the poor 'roo mooning over his dead mate turned out to be just another marsupial male bent on a bit of necroophillia (sic).
Cane toads have been known to do the same thing to road squashed females of their species.
The capacity for 'tree huggers' and others of that ilk to fantasize human attributes to dumb animals never ceases to amaze.

"Yet each man kills the thing he loves,” wrote Oscar Wilde. “By each let this be heard, Some do it with a bitter look, Some with a flattering word.” And the kangaroo, unfortunately, does it while trying to have sex."

As nice as the idea sounds, kangaroos are notoriously difficult to farm (for a start, can you imagine how much it would cost to build a fence they can't just jump) and it's not economically competitive against commercial hunting. Surely this should make the Greens happy: kangaroos get to lead happy, natural, free-range existences until they are quickly and humanely dispatched with a shot to the head.

Is Mise, you would like my oldest son, got an unrestricted gun licence for when he was working in the bush. Told a story about some galah up Braidwood way, tried to farm emu's. Seems the ass fell out of the emu market and the galah opened the gates one day and let the emu's go. They become a pest around the area.
