WHY...?

The "roo's" remind me of Jimmy Durante with those noses...


Poem Artwork

In NJ its black bears & deer

In the west, its wolves

Now in the land down under

Kangaroo’s are being put down

All because governments want

No animals, all being driven asunder…L

 

Those “roo’s” certainly are cute

They keep to themselves, staying mute

I suppose there is a legitimate reason

For them to be “culled”

Just another word for a killing season…L

 

If we in this country can’t stop the killings

I doubt we could stop it in Australia

I guess to them this creature is their deer

But I still find it to be quite disgusting

When governments do of animals, clear…L

Its always been that way
Ever since Columbus discovered the Americas
The White eyes european Devils
Kill every thing they didn't understand, specially the natives
Hence "The Conquistadores"

And it gets more and more disgusting every day, brother. On one of my poems you asked how can they now be gunning down wolves if they are 'protected.' The answer is very simple; government leaders are extremely skilled in creating 'loopholes' in any laws they like, and they say 'progress' now demands that we get rid of these 'protected' wolves (they eat our cattle and trophy elk), and I believe more and more 'loopholes' will be implemented until every last living nonhuman creature standing in the way of so called 'progress' is eliminated.

I agree my friend...kangaroos being shot and killed...what is the world coming to? I read what Georg said about eating roo!!! Now thats disgusting, I don't even eat beef...I can't imagine going out to eat and ordering kangaroo! Yuck! It's also said for them, they seem so innocent and yes they do look a little like Jimmy Durante! Great write!

Did you know that the aussies are exporting cangaroo's meat to America? and are advertized as better than beef? Hey! didn't they said the same about the buffalo? (and see what happened)

I loved the kangaroos, they harm noone and are very speedy animals. Too bad they are to be done away with, Australia is famous for them. What will they do away with next? I just wonder?

I wonder how God feels since He placed the animal kingdom in our care telling us to be good stewards and protect their rights. Thanks for sharing Ed!...ET

Man's inhumanity - they are determined to be the only species on Earth - and they can't even stop killing their own - so they prey on innocent animals - shame. :(

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Very caring write. Even though I'm married to a hunter that only shoots what we will eat, I still would just rather take pictures than have any animal distroyed. Love, Bonnie
