Gnarly Gnu Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 But did you have a point to mention China rather than say Canada, Hawaii, Africa, Vietnam and Korea etc? This is quite true, national stereotypes tend to trump facts. When I went to school we were taught that many / most? of the PNG tribes were extremely primitive - head hunters and cannibals. Whilst this was not untrue however the intention appears to have been to perhaps draw attention away from the fact that many Australian Aboriginal tribes were equally much engaged in cannibalism (not trying to offend it's documented fact) and in many ways less advanced than the PNG folk also. Our mob is always better than their mob.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daza Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Wouldn't it be logical, given recent events, For a commercial pilot who is displaying anger issues, to be grounded until it can be confirmed that he is in a fit condition to fly? But if his employer has sacked him, without providing any support, that would be disgraceful. Darren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

facthunter Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I stand enlightened. Anyhow cats do immense damage to native fauna. Wild dogs and cane toads we could do without as well. Wild camels, crocodile epidemic bull sharks, redback spiders Blue ringed octopus portugese man of war (Box jellyfish) Giant stingrays scorpions centipedes, european wasps.

SDQDI Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I can understand that Geoff, we have had a dog shot by our neighbours before but he was on their property chasing sheep with their dog and vise versa we have shot one of their dogs who was chasing our cows. But in both situations there was no hard feelings and it was explained to each other straight away and even though you lose a good friend it is understandable. Drowning them would be a different story but I guess pommy land has dodgy gun laws like here so shooting them might not be so easy. Also if the dog was still on the neighbours property that's a bit ordinary too. We have never lived close enough to neighbours to hear their dogs bark but I know when we visit the inlaws their dogs bark at night and if it wasn't for the fear of my mother inlaw I would have shot them many visits ago, there is nothing worse than traveling 9 hours in a car with a young baby and toddler and finally getting them to sleep in bed only to have them woken by a dog a half hour later and every hour thereafter!!!! As a side note to stupidity have a read of this link http://www.theherald.com.au/story/3097585/swearing-at-sheep-investigated/ I don't know what to say about that. PETA annoys me but oh how much more it annoys me that they have 'undercover workers' that report this crap. Yes I can understand rough treatment of animals but swearing????? Really????!!!

dazza 38 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Drowning is seen as a humane way of killing wild cats, some councils even supply the cages to put the cats in. The idea is to fill a wheelie bin up with water, open the lid then drop the cage with cat included into the water and then close the lid. I actually think that head shooting them is better but with the current gun laws, it is easier to drown them. Before all the city folk get upset. Wild cats MUST be destroyed, well up here in QLD. I assume the other states have similar laws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDQDI Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Yes drowning cats/kittens is commonplace down here too, I've never done it as access to firearms has always been there and I prefer the quickness and distance of shooting them. Maybe totally unrelated but I did read somewhere a long time ago a piece written by someone who drowned and was then revived and they described it as the most pleasant way to die? Go figure.

Geoff13 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 This was not a wild cat or a dog chasing stock. In both situations I agree and having come from a farming background, have my own share of handling Vermin. This was nothing to do with that situation, this was some scumbag, who probably didn't have the Balls to discuss the situation with the owner and took it into his own hands. As I said if it was my dog, I would probably be the one doing Jail time but it would be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link to that part of the story not showing ..... This bit is though; "This is a dog that barked from morning until night, and a year before my client had had a heart attack, and spent time off work trying to recuperate. He found it impossible to be in his garden. Mr Woodhouse is not a man who likes to complain but he had spoken to the council and he was at his wits' end. It was a momentary lapse of sanity with long term consequences that left a village divided." Also 3 months jail, and that is bollshiit. There was a famous one in Logan for a while about the guy who "stabbed his neighbour's dog in the head with a screwdriver" with a picture of the dog, including screwdriver stuck in it's head (dog was actually fine considering). We are talking 20 years ago but you may even remember it as images of a dog with a screwdriver stuck in it's head aren't easily forgotten. Big ballooha about it from the media but it turned out that the guy was cooking lunch on the barby for his family and working on his car in the backyard, looks up to see the dog up on the table stealing the snags and threw the screwdriver from 10 meters away - as anyone would. There is always 2 sides of the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
