Their job is the same as ours mate: existence. Lol. We don't need to kill them, they don't threaten us.

You’re extracting the urine at this point. Nobody is saying kill all roos ffs.

You stole their work. Vote yes for an indigenous wallaby voice

Saw a roo driving a Silverado with 12” lift kit, and straight-piped exhaust the other day

He killed a roo. So yes. Less likely to happen if he was on a pushbike.

I hit one on my mountain bike. Roo died shortly after. Admittedly I was p*ssed off that it got in the way so I shot it, but still... dead roo

Quote me then champ. I’ll wait.

Brother hit a roo last week - drives a Prado, would have caved the entire bumper and guard in without a bullbar. No damage to car whatsoever.
Often more humane for the roo as a bar should be more likely to kill it instantly rather than maim.

Have a colleague that hit one, she had to get towed as it basically caved the passenger side into the engine mount, not sure what she drives but it wasn't a pretty picture.

Me, in my trips to NSW & back, have just stopped for turtles, ducks, random birds, loose alpacca, never been hit by a roo yet. I figure since it's a Jazz I drive, if it doesn't KO the car, I'm reversing over it to push the bumper back in.

We did that to a fox back in the day, scouring the farm for nusiance animals like geese, rabbit and fox, chanced upon one, it hit the ute or basically driver drove into it. Still breathing, cousin hopped out with a rifle and shot it. Is humane in that case.

Nothing like the smell of pub carpet the morning after a big event

Carpeted pubs in Fiji is only for the colonists.

Pssst

I have shot roughly zero roos in my time on this earth

It’s out of control now
Needed to be stopped when skippy started stealing jobs of our actors decades ago

My dog found a Joey at the back of my place someone had hit it and broken it's leg at the joint. We couldn't approach it because it kept trying to hop and that was pretty sickening. Called wildlife rescue and the euthanized it. Lots of vets will also do this for free if you are able to take the animal there

Was never a good idea unless you like that stale beer smell

They might have been talking about "knock off" salami. It's a thing

There was a good Foreign Correspondent on Italy's food fraud shit. The mafia sell knock off Olive Oil with the DOC certs but containing recycled engine oil and all kind of crap and the base oil from other countries and topped up with anything else they could find. Pretty disturbing what goes on there. Talked about other products from meats to dairy and stuff too.

 

[Yawkey way]

It's a bit gamey for me.

Do they have the same right to be alive as you do ?

I’ve been quite weird lately and I’m serious, I feel bad for everything which is strange because I’m a hunter. I watch shows I usually like on diving and fishing and I’m dude dispatch it as humanely as possible and I’m feeling sorry that anything has has to die. I’m outraged with the use of live baits and so many other things, I find it all very disturbing and I‘M NOT TAKING THE PISS. Yet I have no desire to go vegetarian I just don’t like to see anything suffer.

They have laws where it's the buyer of knock off handbags and fashion gets a huge penalty, most of time you know it's a knockoff. So in Italy you just don't. But some people are naive. I remember taking the piss out of a guy who thought he bought real perfume for his gf

Main point I was making about these mega utes is that their emissions are through the roof, if you're in a normal car, you can't see around them or over them, if they hit a pedestrian or back over one in their driveway, as they do, they are probably ****ed, they take up more than a normal car parking space and if you happen to get t-boned by one, you are also ****ed.

I can't kill animals. Grew up from farming stock so went shooting with cousins and family. Shot a couple of birds but didn't have it in me. Much preferred a cardboard box, fence posts or bottles.

Having dogs ****s with your head, they can be so humanlike in their emotions and personalities that it's hard not anthropomorphise animals. My kids think I'm a bit of an alpha male that loves doing outdoor shit but I'm no good with killing animals. That said I nearly cut a snake in half with a shovel last year thinking I'd rather it not be around where I am. Couldn't even do that.

I'm the other way, have beheaded a chook and plucked it as food source, did chop at a snake as was in my garden, looked to be aggressive so FU, there are kids around with childcare across the road, did yabbying, played golf with fish heads. You love the animals, absolutely love them coddle them as best you can, but they are there and around to feed you, they are there to provide for you, so when it is there time to provide for you it's a thanks for the time, thanks for the returned love, now for your next stage of showing that love.

All catch and release does for me is allow the animals that don't know better, that can't go it alone, they just wander around people and you end up with the locations that have a monkey problem, or the USA with racoons, us with possums and just nuisances that damage things. So it's a better animal husbandry as the owner so euthanise than it is a catch and release, as a fox doesn't know not to raid coops, rabbits don't know not to eat crops, same with geese, they just know their area and they just know their nature.

So if you then love what you have, all those other waterfowl, you're looking at that geese and you're pulling that trigger so they move on as a flock.

I actually think it’s worth most people having to do some sort of prep or at least watch the way meat is farmed, killed and prepped. I watched forks over knives and went veggo for 3 years.

At the very least some should have a look at their meat intake. As a kid I would probably have some form of meat for two meals a day, that’s not healthy for anyone or anything.

Agree with the first part.

As for the last sentence, says who?

Yeah, that the other side of country life. Seeing horses and cows as they get shot is disconcerting. The ****ers look you in the eye. There would be a lot more vegetarians if people saw them die. Removing people from the reality is good and bad. I'm never going to tell people what to do though. Everyone works out their own path.

My daughter is vegan and it's seriously a discipline. I respect her decision even if it make life harder for everyone. She talked about going vegetarian a couple of days ago instead and we were getting excited. It's like an orthodox religious person deciding to calm it down and go to church at Christmas and easter.

Processed food is bullshit. If you want to make yourself sick make food in a factory or lab. I wouldn't trust it myself but again not stopping anyone else from doing it. If it saves some animals and better for the environment it might actually be good, Just not for me..

Replace meat with milk, that way you screen anyone that can't watch a cow shit itself in pleasure of getting pumped.
