Koala Bears that is.

I'm interested in the views of members about the Koala bear cull reported last week.
every shark cull lobbyist would be writing to their local members as we speak.
www.thetimes.co.uk/article/hundreds-of-koalas-killed-in-secret-cull-officials-admit-nblclx93vnm


i know these bears are bad mother ****'ers and we are in their environment
but reports are coming in hot and fast,,,, we are not safe breezers.

did you know (i read this in a sea breeze shark cull thread)
you have more chance of being killed by a Koala Bear than a great white shark.

Sorry its..you have more chance of being killed by a car or a vending machine than by a koala bear.

wait or was that a koala bear driving a vending machine.

wait wait,it was a lightning bolt ricocheting of the vending machine then hitting a drunk driving Koala bear.

this is an outrage.

BEARS kill hundreds of people worldwide breezers,its time to protect your love ones.

stay alert not alarmed.

Koalas are dying of starvation = shoot them.
Advanced planning and the planting of more trees sounds better to me- but I suppose bullets are cheaper....

Sharks are running out of food, so they refuel on whatever is available [us] = kill sharks.
Instead of us cutting back on what we pillage from the ocean - killing sharks is cheaper and will not affect the profit margin for big business who do most of the fishing.

A mate of mine was taken by a Koala ten years ago. I haven't been able to go bush again since it happened. One minute he was healthy and happy, taking a leak at the base of a big gum tree, and the next he was gone leaving only his Blundstones behind. Wife was pregnant with their first child - tragedy all round.

Aye but "Drop Marsupial" doesn't sound quite as impressive.

But you can take solace in that your mate was doing something he loved when he was torn to pieces and devoured whilst alive - it's how he would have wanted to go. Whereas me (am I incapable of such love?), I would much prefer to go to sleep one night and not wake up, my love of the Bush doesn't quite stretch to being devoured by its inhabitants......Sorry

PS; A drongo is a native bird (an attack on a human is yet to be reported).

Koalas are not Bears. Drop Bears are not Koalas. Different bloody species, literally, one is stoned on gumleaf spirit juice, the other devours you hat to sock (yes, as previously stated, they leave ya boots in their place, as a warning they say). Right, ya been told so get it right or hand in ya accent.

Oh, and the cull sucks buffalo balls. There are Koala population problems, over and under populated, all over Aust and the issue needs serious attention, thank goodness we have such a capable government with skilled fingers on the pulse.

As a Victorian and witnessing the issues with koalas - the culling is probably necessary. Same for kangaroos and great whites in some circumstances.

Koalas are breeding like rabbits but without the food source to sustain the population boom. They are wandering Victorian town streets starving and victims of contacts with cars and trucks are lining the roads.

FFS! How many have to die before you tree huggers realise something has to be done about these animals? Husbands, mothers, sons and daughters are being lost each week to rogue territorial Koalas. The cost in human lives is too high dammit!

Reasearch projects, tagging and those bloody electronic reporting stations don't work. I don't want to recieve a text about a Koala in my vicinity. I want it removed or killed. I think it's time to introduce drumlines in the Eucalyptus forests.

If you can't make square poops you ain't no wombat. Airborne or otherwise.




Anyway, 700 should be enough that I can finally get real fur for my mittens for the bitterly cold WA winter that is just around the corner so I'm stoked.

That just means you're not cooking them long enough, or with the right spices.
You reckon eucalyptus goes more with a red curry or green?

Why not just capture them and hand them out as pets ?

My Staffy would love one of those things as a playmate

But I would probably have to strap some gloves on the Koala so it doesn't take my doggies eyes out in the first five seconds
