Buy the July 21st to 27th Bulletin it has an article on Kangaroo industry in a positive light also explains that the #$%^head Steve (wanker) Irwin is patron and co-founder of Wildlife Protection Association of Australia Inc (WPAAI). Irwin is using some of the money from the TV shows to help fund this.
WPAAI is helping co-ordinate the protest at Googong dam and taking court action to stop roo shooting in QLD, SA and WA they have already tried in NSW and lost.

And some people on this forum don't think he's a wanker

I'll say this, he takes some chances handling some of those animals! He either has a lot of luck or really knows what he is doing!

He is a wanker full stop!!! I bet he uses a lot of sedatives to calm down those croc's or a good freezer. ha ha

You can hardly shoot anything in the A f###ing C T. I have seen numerous roos die of starvation in this real estate. The only thing killing roos is vehicles, and there doing that everywhere. These people are shit who are trying to stop the roo cull, there from another planet. Townies thats what they are, they have no idea of life.

This DICKHEAD is not interested in promoting wildlife ,ONLY HIMSELF!!!!!! there was a movie years ago starring steve martin called '' THE JERK '' maybe they could have a remake, with this uneducated IDIOT as himself .On south park he got wasted by a helicopter .we are all living in hope !!!!!!!

I'm a bit pissed off I told some colleagues at work that I was off hunting wanted to clear my head, and someone said kill something! Next thing some bitch says kill Bambi! I told her really I'm going on a camping trip to get away from all the crap. When will they grow up ,or will they always remain in disneyland?

Buckeye shooter it is all based on luck and so far he has been LUCKY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gentlemen



I have never liked Mr Irwing and think he egocentric nitwit and a complete muppet



Cheers

Your reference 13351



Dear Minister

I respond to your letter replying to our concerns about a proposed kangaroo farm near Chittering WA. Thank you for your reply, and the information that no such proposal has so far been progressed.



However we would like to address comments made in your letter about the two current wildlife farming operations, crocodile and emu.



Both are subsidised by the taxpayer. Both have serious animal welfare problems, from crocodiles being kept in stinking putrid, overcrowded ponds, to emus being converted from a wild and free animal, to a chook in a chook pen.



You may not be aware that emu-farming was started in WA by a French company, without any public comment process, or adequate environmental or economic studies. Eggs from the WA sub-species were consequently sent to France, USA, South Africa, and any other country silly enough to let them in. At the last count I heard, there are 30,000 emus in France, and similar numbers in farms in other countries.



In the USA many were released from the pens when farmers realised they were of no value, and emus are now feral in several US states. Some farmers became so frustrated they killed them with baseball bats , and were prosecuted for animal cruelty.



Farms were also established in the other Australian States, also without any adequate public comment process. Worse, the eggs that were sent from WA to SA, Victoria, NSW and Queensland, were also of the WA subspecies. Similar releases into the wild, from East Coast farms which collapsed, have now inter-bred with the eastern subspecies. The two subspecies are now well mixed. So much for "adequate environmental assessment."



As well, many people who failed to do their homework, were conned into entering this new "Industry", which was grandly promoted by agricultural "experts" and politicians. Most lost their farms and homes. The Industry had little chance of ever being successful.



All Australian croc farms survive by their dependence on the taxpayer, and the tourist Industry. The NT government has admitted that the taxpayer contributes one third of the profits of their croc farms. In spite of Industry propaganda, markets for crocodile products are very limited. Unbelievably, we also import some crocodile products from New Guinea. Visitors to a commercial croc farm are kept well away from the stinking ponds, where these unfortunate animals are incarcerated in until they are killed.



So I'm sorry, but we have little confidence in any State governments' ability to adequately research and assess wildlife farming proposals. Any attempt by any State government to approve the farming of kangaroos would be immediately challenged in the Courts, and in the AAT if the proposal received Federal government approval, which is unlikely.



Yours sincerely,



Pat O'Brien, President,

Wildlife Protection Association of Australia Inc.

Of course what I am talking about is not a CON but any funds received would be used for legitimate conservation programmes. There are enough around and most would welcome a sponsor.



Of course it might be necessary to do some stunts to get publicity.



I think a demonstration outside a Croc Hunter Zoo in queensland might get international publicity. A place where wild free ranging crocs have been imprisoned and made into a cheap freak side show. Probably find he has animals from our coat of arms also imprisoned there in artificial environments suffering from the eyes and galking of tourists endlessly without let up. These animals just get so stressed that they stop eating and want to commit suicide!



Another target could be a new-pseudo greenie lot the RSPCA. Now anti-duck hunting yet it is the biggest killer oganisation of animals in the country. Murdering much loved pets in blood soaked concrete cages, the animals defecating in fear as the RSPCA thrill kills them.



I'm sure we could find a dozen targets, one every three months to keep the plastic monkeys entertained and sucker funds rolling in. Not to mention applying for Commonwealth employment funding, where the funds pay for an unemployable to door knock for cash donations for the "greenie" fund. That's what you are training them to do. Not to mention "for less than a dollar a day you can pay automatically with your credit card to save Kazakstan Dancing Bears from having to dance all day!".





See I could make a good marxist, radical human hating greenie if I changed sides.

He's been drinking his own plonk

I guess you guys has to visit Nitrox and make sure there will be wine left to bottle
