The War on Wildlife

I just heard yesterday that apparently some devastated Irwin fans have become Crocodile Hunter Vigilantes by undertaking sting-ray slayer sprees in North Queensland. Yes, you read that right - dead sting-rays have been found sprawled along beaches with...wait for it...their barbs cut off.

Now seriously...I'm sad that he died too, but slaughtering sting-rays?

What a croc.

When Diana passed on, did anybody start bombing French tunnels?

When River Phoenix took off, did anybody start dismembering drug cocktails?

When 9/11 happened, did anybody take it upon themselves to start slashing the tyres of American airlines? No! We didn't stuff around with the planes...we instead went directly to the source and bombed the crap out of some apparently terrorist-riddled countries.

So come on people - let's not be distracted by the sting-rays...let's get to the real source of the problem: WILDLIFE. Let's kill it all. We can slay roos, crocs, bears, birds, even coral (though it might be more efficient just to let the coral continue on its slow trawl down death row over the next 20 years - after all, if there's one thing better than revenge, it's efficiency.)

Then when we're done, we can stack up our kill, roast it on a spit and call it the 'Steve Irwin Barbeque Tribute - cos that'll teach the little bastards for messin' with one top bloke.'

Come on Australia. Let's do it for Steve.

Do Ladies have to bring a plate? I look forward to this BBQ.
I ate a platapus once. It was kind of like a cross between a koala, and a bottle nosed dolphin.

Did it taste like chicken?

I'm a vegetarian, but if it helps, i'll go out and slay some wild chinese tofu, then sculpt it into the shape of a numbat.

BYO dipping sauces

Rebecca - pikelets would be most welcome, particularly if they're laced with jelly-fish.

Louise - absolutely! I've aready pre-empted the possibility of discriminating against vegos - that's why I'm happy to report that I've already secured a donation of soy sausages, which, in the right light, look just like emu legs.

Bon Apetit!

When I was younger and used to go fishing we used to cut off the barbs of any stingrays(these were small sand-rays) we caught before using them as burley for catching worms or as bait.

More than once I saw mother stingray's give birth to their foetus' on the sand and watch the little bastards swim out through the waves; I even saw twins delivered one day!

While we're at it, we might as well squish the cheeseburgers and milkshakes that killed Chris Farley. Oh, the drugs too.

rn_buffoon - ah, wouldn't it ease the trauma of childbirth if the little muppets could just get up and swim away after the event. Ahhh...
