Those truly ignorant Seppos and the proposed Outback Camel Cull.

I turn off rapidly when someone calls someone killing an animal a "murderer" , you can only murder something of your own species by definition,

Why would she try to ascertain the real situation when words like "mass murderer" are far more emotive and in her mind maybe induce more viewers to tune in.
Why let a triffling thing like truth stand in the way of a good story.

Gday,

There are $hit loads of them and we need to do something fast........

lol don't hold back now Mick...

You're right though of course. The damage the camels are are doing is untold; all the waterholes are getting ruined as well - something must be done about it.

Cheers

Could always round up a couple thousand humpy's and chuck'em in Erin Burnett's back yard. She if she likes them nibbling on her plants and drinking all her pool water.

LOL

You forgot also that we are using "air strikes", according to her, to murder these poor defenceless camels.

lets not forget that virtually every australian native is protected but most of the animals in the US are not

Whilst I agree with K.Rudd and support the cull and control, the animals should not be left to rot like was shown on the TV, they should be slaughtered for their meat, which is great.

Cheers,
Dion.

i was good for a giggle --- i jumped on the skype phone and spoke to my friend in the states - they thought it was all bullcrap also

Boc

Tell them what you really think Mick!! LOL!! Michael

Gday Mick
And that from a race of people who have killed 4 million or so Bison .

What about posting this article back to the States.
It is about the same woman that some Americans wanted as Vice President.



Sept. 8, 2008 Wildlife activists thought they had seen the worst in 2003 when Frank Murkowski, then the Republican governor of Alaska, signed a bill ramping up state programs to gun down wild wolves from airplanes, inviting average citizens to participate. Wolves, Murkowski believed, were clearly better than humans at killing elk and moose, and humans needed to even the playing field.

But that was before Sarah Palin took Murkowski's job at the end of 2006. She went one step, or paw, further. Palin didn't think Alaskans should be allowed to chase wolves from aircraft and shoot them -- they should be encouraged to do so. Palin's administration put a bounty on wolves' heads, or to be more precise, on their mitts.

In early 2007, Palin's administration approved an initiative to pay a $150 bounty to hunters who killed a wolf from an airplane in certain areas, hacked off the left foreleg, and brought in the appendage. Ruling that the Palin administration didn't have the authority to offer payments, a state judge quickly put a halt to them but not to the shooting of wolves from aircraft.

Did this seppo cow jump up and down on her soapbox when our State Governments authorised indiscriminate killing of our Brumbies during foaling time in the NSW high regions and the Vic Alps, by using "gunmen" shooting out of helicopters resulting in horses dying days later from broken bones caused by panic stricken charges, and poorly aimed rifle fire from unstable shooting positions?
Or was it just a slow news day without Barak patting a stupid dog somewhere?

First thing i thought of was i bet she helped the American economy crash over there with credit card debt. Stupid woman. I reckon the average travelled American would be embarrassed by her.

And yet, the strongest opponents of animal culling are so often the strongest proponents for large scale culling of children that haven't yet had the chance to see the light of day. It is estimated that as many as 1 in 4 Australian children are cruelly slaughtered in the name of 'convenience' (the number is thought to be similar in the U.S.) - where is the concern of people like Erin Burnett then?

Why give her air-time she doesn't deserve....

I can see a business opportunity here:

All I need is a second hand Huey gunship. Two machine guns either side.

Charge four punters an absolute bucketload for a brief flight shooting the cr@p out of a herd of camels.

Should boost my retirement fund.

I'd be Kev's new best friend.

Bloody Yanks,They have one of the worst environmental records on Earth..You can see why,I bet she had to Google Earth Australia to find out where we are...

Apparently the "news" item was done "tongue-in-cheek", but the American sense of humour lost something in translation when it came down-under. I believe that she made an apology the next day to explain that it wasn't meant to be taken too seriously.
