OT ACT Kangaroo cull

Bring in the Shooters !

Paul McCartney can get S#^##ed, what the hell would he know anyway. He would be the first to winge ( being a Pom ) if he hit one in their own car.

When numbers are that prolific, in places that they are a danger to both themselves, other animals, and motorists, then they should culled..

I get my own meat, and will continue to do so, ( love it )

I have seen the numbers that thick, literally the whole side if a hill hop away, then its time to thin them out.
Unfortunately " do-gooders" like these idiots, that have no idea of what is going on, spoil everything.

The case in the ACT as I see it, the kangaroo's are in a high fenced area, on the old Belconnon Naval Radio Station.

While the grass conditions have been good in the last couple of years, and the roo's have bred up, they now starting to starve. So they are being thinned out for their own good.

The "Do gooders" are camped outside the gates waiting for the cull to start. One wacker stated the when the shooting starts he will stand in front of the 'guns'. Let him, as a few of those dills need to be culled as well.

It is actually more the animal rights groups that have "cracked it", groups like animal liberation, PETA and animals australia. Anyone interested in "welfare" of the roos knows this has to happen....

They wouldn't have tried the meat as they are either vegetarians or worse, vegans...

Totally agree, the meat is very nice when cooked properly

as for your last sentence barnesy, let's discuss that around a camp fire

Suppose the alternative is to restore the natural balance and put a few dingoes in the enclosure?

If the media kept it quiet nobody would know about it........it should be done without publcise it at all.
Or pack the Roo's up and send them off to England.

We already are farming roos. theres more than ever. When you go bush as in out of the farmland and station areas where water and good feeding areas are provided for them roos are a pretty uncommon site in comparison.
Same gos for things like crows, galahs etc - Not all natives have suffered with the appearence of whiteman

The land is a small parcal of land in suburbea with houses surrounding it. It is the Navy's old Belconnen transmitting station. It should be noted that this site is earmarked for development as a new suburb.

There is also another site out in the bush in NSW just north of Queanbeyan.

Defence initially about two years ago was just going to cull them but there was an uproar so that was stopped. Now Defence wants to move the roos to a bush site in NSW. It will be relatively easy to round the roos up as the site is small and fenced.

However the dogooders in the ACT Government have intervened and the ACT Govt has refused the transportation permit. I don't know why the Federal Govt does not just override the ACT.

Because of public sympathies and the whatever is done will be getting wide media coverage, to minimise joey deaths the roos will be tranquellised first before being put down - no joeys are to be killed.

Ultimately all roos have to go to make way for the new suburb.

There has been a form of cull going on ever since the automobile arrived in Australia - road
kill. I prefer Wallaby meat - not as tough as Roo because they don't travel as fast. It's a sort of cross between Ostrich and venison and needs cooking slowly, like in a dreampot. Healthy low-fat meat and I like it. Pity to waste a good renewable resource.

Roo meat is too rich for me....
Besides, Koalas fit in the camp oven heaps better.

The best way to reduce the roo population, would be to move all those people who are camped in front of Old Parlimant House, and fence them in with the roo's.

Barnsey, I can't remember a post where everyone was agreed.......and spot on too. It's outrageous when people interfere but have no understanding.
