There aren't any Simpsons on (the dreaded) Channel 10. So I decided to watch Channel 7 news.
And I thought it was great, watching the news and feeling smart.
UNTIL...
The news presenter said "A new decision being discussed in federal government in W.A. is suggesting that it become ok for people to shoot joeys (baby kangaroos) at a close distance, repeatedly, or by picking them up and banging their heads against a towbar."
No, not if they are injured.
No, not if they are starving to death.
Not if they are dying in any way, shape or form.
They are saying "Go out and kill kangaroos."
My opinion? Can we screw up any more? The problem is that there are too many kangaroos. Why? Cos we got rid of dingos, by either killing them or sending them to zoos and national parks. So, we kill the dingo, then we kill the kangaroo and wallaby. Who will we kill next? Will there be too many snakes due to the lack of kangaroos, so we kill all of them off, too?
This made me furious! FURIOUS!
The news presenter said "Will this prove Australians are hypocrites, killing off kangaroos, our national icon, and protesting against Japanese killing whales?"
I say, you bet!
