Judge for yourself what their humane slaughters, including darting, are really all about under their accepted Code of Practice, and decide for yourselves how humane their slaughters are, following their own, and rspca strict guidelines. These unqualified people on the advisory committees, are being paid a high wage, using your hard earned taxpayers money, to torture animals to death, and drive wildlife to extinction.

The unnecessary torturing of our native Eastern Grey Kangaroos commenced on Tuesday 5 May 2009, behind our backs by defence and tams on the defence majura firing site, where they claimed that they had already killed over 3,000 kangaroos, in approx. one and a half weeks. Wildlife Carers Group was still waiting to hear from defence to go in and inspect the site, the kangaroos, and to do an individual head count of them. Since we have not been in there to do our count, we don't know what the true population is in there. On Thursday 14 May 2009, NSW Animal Liberation served defence with a court injunction, which the Conservator of Flora and Fauna responded to, and became the Respondent/Defendent. A 4 day hearing began on Tuesday 2 June 2009 to Friday 5 June 2009. Wildlife Carers Group/Nora Preston, Founding President, attended the 4 full day hearings. On day 1 of the hearing, defence withdrew, because they didn't want to have to pay the legal costs, if they lost. Unfortunately NSW animal liberation lost the appeal. The Tribunal erred where they failed to note the evidence by tams, that both tams and defence enter the fenced site either two or three times a week, to herd kangaroos out, causing the deteriorated states of this area themselves, with the damages not caused by the kangaroos. File Photos show a natzi german camp in canberra, at majura naval base, replacing the jewish bodies with our native Eastern Grey kangaroos, that were needlessly tortured to death in 2008. The roos were taken to majura naval base, their precious lives wasted, driving them to extinction, autopsied and thrown into a pit. don fletcher/tams, writes in the kangaroo management plan march 2009, or tams website, that they autopsied some of the bodies, and they found that the roos had some body waste, not as fat as he thinks they should've been. No wildlife, hold the same fat content, that your domestic pet does.
They have more muscle, than fat, and are slim, it is their natural body weight, they are in the wild, not sitting in your lounge room being pampered and fattened. 18/3/09 media release www.canberratimes.com.au/news/local/news/general/roo-control-will-require-more-culls-stanhope-says/1462007.aspx?... , and please note that I specified only HUMANE fertility programs, (bromocriptine and some other fertility programs are not humane and must be immediately aborted), that has to be closely monitored in order not to end up with the same result as over culling, extinction of our native Eastern Grey Kangaroos, and further 17/3/09 media release www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/03/17/2518769.htm please sign this UPDATED petition THAT REVEALS 2009 TRYING TO REPEAT 2008 HORROR -Online petition - Save ALL the Kangaroos, You can't believe what is written in the kangaroo management survey. If you wish to put your submission in by 11 May 2009 go to www.chiefminister.act.gov.au/media.php?v=7812, and click on tams This destructive, menacing grassland group/commissioner's/office of the commissioner for sustainability and the environment ACT, dept, will have to be urgently dismantled, with their report/recommendations shredded. This report is fictitious, committing unlawful and deliberate acts of fraud, and wanting to continue to commit unlawful unnecessary, acts of animal cruelty, to drive our native wildlife to extinction. Continuing to pay taxpayers money to this dept, is aiding in putting this state into deficit, which this state and country is already in. Saving This planet, our environment, our eco system, restoring sanity, harmonious non violent, humane living, preventing wildlife extinction and climate change, has top priority, OVER saving jobs for people such as these government advisers, who are destroying this planet through no expertise or knowledge in these important matters. Thank you very much for your assistance with Wildlife Carers Group, it is greatly appreciated. You can help restore nurturing, living in harmony with our native wildlife, prevent extinction to our native wildlife, end unlawful acts of animal cruelty and violence in our society with this information below, by exposing this government's advisers, the small minority of horse owners (not all horse owners have these misconceived views about our native roos), who have no expertise or knowledge in wildlife matters, by showing the valid alternatives to unnecessary butchering of our native Eastern Grey Kangaroos, who have as much right to live on this land, as the horseowners horses do, without being slaughtered to death, and the facts on who really is to blame for the destruction of habitat.
'Roos push horses out' The Chronicle, 24/3/09 - What expertise and knowledge do these small minority of horse owners have in Kangaroos, wildlife, habitat, the eco system, animal welfare, environment, climate change. Unfortunately, the reality is, that pet horses are a very expensive pet to own, you can't expect to just put them out to pasture, and let them feed themselves, you have to buy them food, ensure that they are fed a well balanced diet, just as you would for any other pet you own, along with very expensive costs for veterinary care. Native macropods will remain in these paddocks, to maintain a healthy well balanced eco system, that live quite harmoniously with horses, and other hoofed animals. The minority of the people/horse owners, with their misconceived views about our roos, are going to have to learn to do the same. The horse paddocks deteriorating sites are also being blamed on the kangaroos, instead of realising the fact, that it is indeed the hoofed animals that have deteriorated the sites, and eaten them dry, and not the kangaroos, who are soft footed, and assist in the regeneration of vegetation, through their grazing and natural fertilisation. Incidentally, farmers receive a government subsidy to save and protect wildlife on their properties which some are abusing, by continuing to slaughter our native wildlife. Without the Eastern Grey Kangaroos, and other macropods, everything will dry up and die off, however, even they can't work their magic, where the hoofed horses, cattle, sheep, have totally destroyed the sites. The horses, and other hoofed animals, need to be be rotated more often, out of these sites, to allow these sites to rest with only the kangaroos left there to graze, so that the roos can encourage the regeneration of the vegetation through their grazing, and their natural fertilisation. The Rose Cottage horse paddock and the Weston horse paddock that I have visited, have both been destroyed by the horses, and not by the macropods, I would say that the other horse paddocks have the same problem. I was in touch with Jane Hedges last year, which resulted in my visit to the rose cottage horse paddock on 2/9/08, with one of my 5 day work experience students, when we counted 193 kangaroos, which contradicted the rspca count of 2000 (nicely rounded up, but unrealistic) figure.
We will be visiting the site again to do a recount of the mobs, however, my quick visit to rose cottage, before the end of March 2009, showed a drastic drop in numbers. The kangaroos will not stay on the sites and allow themselves to starve to death, this is a ridiculous and fraudulent statement to make, they will leave and find greener pastures. The dead roos found on these sites would more than likely have been hit by cars, that crawled away, and were either finished off by the rangers and left there to rot, or unfortunately, slowly died suffering from their injuries. Explore the reality, talk to us, before making such dangerous, fictitious statements, building up unwarranted hate for our macropods, and encouraging unlawful acts of animal cruelty and violence in our society. If it wasn't for the roos, there would be absolutely no vegetation at all on these sites. These government advisers, and small minority of horse owners, are like a terminally ill disease, a cancer spreading extremely fast, that will be irreversible to our environment, wildlife, Eco system, impact on climate change, unless the government advisers are cut out, and permanently removed from this society. These government advisers, and small minority of horse owners, are a menace to society, and are not only attempting to wipe out our wildlife, but are also going to wipe out the human race with their ongoing fictitious reports, if the government doesn't urgently sever their relationship with them. I began rehabilitating ALL native wildlife, including Eastern Grey Kangaroos, in the early 1980's, when I also educated the public in our wildlife, wildlife rehabilitation, wildlife habitat, and conservation. I later became a bird bander, and was also on COG's committee, mid to late 1980's. I was also very active in identifying birds present, migratory, mapping/location, population, etc. for their COG Canberra Bird Book. I was involved in introducing the bird banding scheme for National Parks and Wildlife amongst rehabilitated wildlife before their release, and was looking forward to extending the banding scheme to other species of rehabilitated wildlife, in order to track their movement, and survival rate, after being rehabilitated, which also assists on the success or failure of the release sites. I have already requested that Wildlife Carers Group be involved in re opening the banding scheme amongst rehabilitated wildlife before their release. On Sunday 20/3/09, I made a phone call and was informed that the Kangaroo butchering had already commenced, on Saturday night, 21/3/09, in Holt, before the kangaroo management draft's deadline has been finalised on 11 May 2009. This is an example on how untrustworthy, this government and their advisers are. You cannot believe anything they say about the kangaroos, the native grasslands, etc. While Maxine Cooper was being interviewed, about how important our native grasslands are, with Simon corbell, attorney general, beside her, accusing the Eastern Grey Kangaroos of eating everything, I couldn't help but notice how long the grass was in the background, from where she was being interviewed, that our Eastern Grey Kangaroos, had supposedly eaten down to nothing. These native grasslands are being mowed down by government department employees, exposing our endangered striped legless lizards, earless dragon, along with other endangered species, and killing them. Our Native Eastern Grey Kangaroos are also amongst our endangered species.
Please note, that they have, for now, dropped their science fiction, that the kangaroos have an impact on endangered species. Eastern Grey Kangaroos have no impact on our native grasslands, or native species that live in the native grasslands, only the people do, who have an extremely destructive effect on our native grasslands, our environment, our native wildlife, our Eco system. More unlawful acts of fraud committed sent to the media for media releases, in reports, to attempt to send the public into hysteria. When the government feels that they have been defeated by us, they send in maxine cooper, to commit fraud, about the native grasslands, and whatever other fiction, they can think up, so that they can try to succeed in having their cruel, unlawful, unnecessary, blood bath.
They attempt to manipulate the media and the minority of the public, who actually believe them, to commit their unlawful acts of animal cruelty, and add to the climate change disasters, by driving our very important native wildlife to extinction, upsetting the balance of our Eco system, through their deliberate misrepresentation and acts of fraud. At a time of recession, this government is wasting money on cruel massacres of our wildlife, and are encouraging unlawful acts of animal cruelty and violence. Alternatives to wasting taxpayers money on unlawful slaughter and cruel violence, that will save our environment, native wildlife, prevent further devastation through climate change, and restore a healthy well balanced Eco system: ~* URGENTLY dismantle Commissioner/Office of the Commissioner for sustainability and the environment ACT, and shred their fictitious report, saving taxpayers hard earned money, aiding to prevent placing this state/county into further deficit ~* spend money on developing safe corridors for our wildlife to avoid road collisions/kills.
~* spend money on developing/modifying the shu roo, that emits a noise to warn wildlife off the roads, so that it will work at any speed, and have free compulsory fittings to all vehicles, bikes, motor bikes, to prevent road collisions/kills.
~* spend this precious money on declaring and promoting the entire ACT as a wildlife sanctuary, and nurture ALL of our native wildlife.
~* spend taxpayers money wisely, on copyright Wildlife Carers Group submitted/proposed City Kangaroo Park/Wildlife Sanctuary, with Wildlife Carers Group, on the bnts site, that will also be an educational facility in wildlife, with rehabilitating enclosures for injured wildlife, and the only wildlife hospital in the ACT, a huge tourist attraction that will attract millions of dollars in revenue to the ACT.
~* cut out, and permanently remove these misleading, misrepresenting government advisers. ~* remove the authority from tams/conservator in making decisions in wildlife rehabilitation licence, killing licences, wildlife matters, and place them under Wildlife Carers Group, to prevent any further fatalitities, devastation, destruction, unlawful acts of fraudulent reports, unlawful acts of animal cruelty, wildlife extinction, and restore harmony. Wednesday 18/3/09, Canberra Times, page 18, Editorial, in a block, under a heading The Canberra Times, to serve the national city and through it the nation, no name added to this article, heading 'Shooting roos is a sad necessity', and then on the same page, an article written by julian robinson in narrabundah, title 'Do roos rule roost?'.
What expertise and knowledge do these people have in roos, the environment, animal welfare, wildlife, the eco system, climate change? These types of misleading articles are helping to drive our native wildlife to extinction, encouraging unlawful acts of animal cruelty, violence. Explore the facts, rather than listening to science fiction by the government's advisers, who have no expertise or knowledge in wildlife issues, and who should've been terminated from their jobs 20 years ago, and who now must be stripped of any authority to make decisions in these areas, who are also aiding in our economy downfall/recession. 'Do roos rule the roost?' article by julian robinson, narrabundah. Yes they should, because of all the good they do in restoring the destroyed habitat. The kangaroos still have main predators. 'Shooting roos is a sad necessity' article, no name, talks about the government refusing to give licences to kill kangaroos around canberra, and at majura naval base and bnts site. The government did issue licences to kill, unlawfully, and they were butchered to death, some left suffering with severe injuries to slowly die, committing unlawful acts of animal cruelty on both sites in 2007 and 2008. The kangaroos were not starving, and are still not starving on these sites, or any other sites in the ACT. 34 licences to torture our native Eastern Grey Kangaroos to death, were issued in 12 months.
The grass is so high, the roos are concealed, the bnts site can be extended for the roos, and turned into a Copyright Wildlife Carers Group City Kangaroo Park/Wildlife Sanctuary, as proposed by Wildlife Carers Group, with Wildlife Carers Group. Note, that the photos presented of the bnts site by don fletcher/tams, showed an area that had no growth on it, which was blamed on the roos fenced in there. This area photographed was actually the permanent road track, that the defence and tams vehicles had worn down. My photo showed how long the grass was in there, where the roos were grazing, and in fact were concealed by the long grass. Of course this photo, along with our copyright city Kangaroo Park/Wildlife Sanctuary, and other alternatives, was never submitted by defence, maxine cooper, or other government advisers to the chief minister, as requested, to avoid the cull. These government advisers are deceitful, and so is the roo management plan, and cannot be believed. Only the small minority, namely the government advisers, some horse owners, want the roos tortured to death. We are of the majority, who want to stop the unlawful and unnecessary acts of animal cruelty, and the killing of our native Eastern Grey Kangaroos, and the rest of our native wildlife, preventing extinction. Therefore the roo killing will not go ahead.
In majura, the kangaroos can leave, they will not stay in the one place if they are starving, this information by the government is science fiction, and is deliberately misleading the media and the public, which is also unlawful, committing fraud. The photos that you will see showing the yellow box gum, in this kangaroo management draft, on the website, (the photo doesn't appear to be in the hard copy draft), where don fletcher is attempting to accuse the roos for being responsible for the dryness under these trees, is not due to our native Eastern Grey Kangaroos. Culling is not humane, therefore it is unlawfully committing acts of animal cruelty, and is not necessary. Yes, these government advisers do hate kangaroos, and the rest of our wildlife, which is why they resort to repeated deceit and continued science fiction about our wildlife. These government advisers have the mentality that you cannot have wildlife living with humans. The majority have already spoken, who live in the ACT, and do want to commute with the kangaroos, and the rest of the wildlife, and do not want the kangaroos unlawfully, and unnecessarily cruely culled. They are not in plague proportions, it only appears so, because they have lost their habitat, so we can see more of them, and although it is great to see them, it is extremely sad that they have lost so much of their habitat through mismanagement by tams/conservator, and other government advisers.
They have not increased 100% as suggested by stanhope, more deceit fed to him by his advisers. In all fairness to our Eastern Grey Kangaroos, Question what were the circumstances behind this roo jumping/crashing through a window, on 10 march 2009, in Garran, was he/she chased/harassed by a pet, (sounds like their pet dog was unlawfully roaming uncontrolled, and may have been the culprit that sent this poor native animal into this frightful frenzy) a person, to be in such a frenzy, that the poor animal jumped through a window.
Imagine the injuries that this poor animal sustained, the shock he/she was put through, he/she would've been extremely dazed, and yet this resident owner, brags in placing this poor frightened, shocked and severely injured animal into a head lock, and dragging this poor severely injured animal down the hall way, throwing him/her into the reserve, bleeding from his/her wounds, instead of calling us out for help/advice. These are deliberate acts of animal cruelty, failing to call for assistance, failing to have the animal treated for his injuries. All dogs are unpredictable, Pet dogs need to be kept restrained, on a leash, in order to protect not only our wildlife, but other pets, people, and in fact for their own safety as well. Free roaming dogs, uncontrolled dogs even with its owner, can end up being injured, lost, as it crawls away with its injuries, to suffer a prolonged death, whether it has been hit by a car, attacked by another person because it has caused a nuisance, or killed someone else's own pet in their own property. The roos presence did not contaminate the water at googong dam in 2004, (not 1994 as incorrectly printed), nor did the roos presence threaten to contaminate the water at googong dam, they eat grass, grass and other weeds grow and live in the dam, that was another act of fraud. The unlawful, unnecessary acts of animal cruelty was committed, solely because of the surrounding residents complaints, who did not want native wildlife/Eastern Grey Kangaroos on their properties. I believe I have covered the rest of the article above about the grasslands, but I can repeat, the kangaroos do not have an impact on the native grasslands, or other wildlife, only the destructive, uneducated, people do. At the same time as reporting these misleading articles for the public to read in the Canberra Times, by the 2 misinformed, misrepresenting authors, (unknown, and julian robinson from narrabundah), encouraging cruelty and unnecessary torturing of our kangaroos to death, the same dated Canberra Times 18/3/09, which is totally inconsistent with the previous articles, then placed a lift out 'Earth Hour' by WWF/Canberra Times, when the Canberra Times are finally recognising the fact, and are warning the public, that, 'one-third of Australia's macropods are threatened or endangered...in combination with existing threats global warming will push some species over the edge'. This is the vital information that these government department advisers ignore, climate change are already having a devastating impact on our wildlife, driving ALL of them to extinction, in the ACT, in Australia, Worldwide, and it is higher than just one-third, without these government department advisers adding to it, by deliberately misrepresenting and misleading the current government, the media and the public, with their deceit, about our wildlife matters, that they have absolutely no expertise or knowledge on. To this government's advisers, the definition of 'management' means 'cull - torture to death', and 'drive our native wildlife to extinction', because they are of the view, that you cannot have wildlife living with people. The majority that live in the ACT, live here to commute with wildlife, and want to nurture them, the minority who want to torture our wildlife to death, need to be re educated, with facts, and not fiction. If they don't want to be re educated, then the small minority can always go and live in a city interstate, instead of attempting to destroy the bush capital for the majority that live here, who wish to maintain the bush capital, save and protect our native roos, along with the rest of our wildlife, and end unlawful, unnecessary acts of animal cruelty/killing, violence, in our society. The government is failing to keep the pre election promises of change, by handing over the advisory positions to the people who have the expertise and knowledge in wildlife matters, such as myself/Wildlife Carers Group, which also includes the decision making on what goes on the wildlife rehabilitation licence, that still lacks the full term rehabilitation of sick, injured, orphaned native Eastern Grey Kangaroos, and ALL other native wildlife, in order to avoid any further acts of fraudulent reports committed, to prevent any further unlawful acts of animal cruelty committed, to prevent the extinction of our native wildlife, etc, in order to provide protection to ALL our native wildlife. It's still the same people, with no expertise or knowledge in Eastern Grey Kangaroos, other macropods, wildlife, the eco system, the environment, conservation, and how to prevent climate change, advising the government, who have again, gone over the top. IF WE LOOK AFTER OUR WILDLIFE, OUR WILDLIFE WILL LOOK AFTER US Thank you very much for all your help and support. Wildlife Carers Group, the only local wildlife group with long term expertise and knowledge in our native wildlife, that will act on, and investigate animal cruelty/welfare/rights, and, as a community group, that also cares about our community, and the rights of our community groups. Wildlife Carers Group, the only local wildlife group helping to keep our state and country out of deficit, with no government funding. 4/6/08 - I spoke to defence, apparently Liz Cosson was unavailable and asked Larry Robbins replacement for the next 5 weeks, to return my phone call. He denies that they are looking into slaughtering any more of our native kangaroos at the majura defence site. I further questioned him into the invasive collars on the roos, to which he replied they are not invasive. I argued that it is and is in breach of animal welfare, they should only be using small ear tags on the macropods. I issued him with a warning that the invasive collars are to be removed immediately, and replaced with the smaller ear tags. I further warned him of the inhumane, incompetence and negligence that occurred on the bnts site against our native kangaroos, failing to provide the animals with a warm, safe, soft recovery area, that opened up to an enclosure, which in turn then slowly opened up back into the larger enclosure. I requested a site visit, inspection and kangaroo count at majura. defence paid out $470,000 of taxpayers money to inhumanely, unnecessarily slaughter our native Eastern Grey Kangaroos on the bnts site. Check out national ABC media release 4/6/08 - http://bigpond.com/news/national/content/20080604/2265044.asp 2/6/08 - defence say they have finished inhumanely, unnecessarily butchering our native Eastern Grey Kangaroos and have commenced to dismantle the newly erected fences, the rspca, who don't know what they are doing, can't recognise native wildlife when they see it, can't recognise whether or not an animal is starving or not, and don't care, claim that the unnecessary, inhumane slaughter was humanely done, defence say they are now ready to commence stage 2 of the brutal cold blooded murder on the Majura naval site. We should also note, that more fraud was committed when defence, tams, etc, all the so called experts in this brutal unnecessary slaughter, when they claimed that there were no joeys between March and July. I rub my eyes, and I still see all those tiny young joeys hopping around after their mothers, the one that was locked out of the killing pen, cruelly penned in with out their mothers, mothers milk, food, water, waiting for their cold blooded murder, starving for 3 days, before their inhumane end came. 29/5/08 - wildcare have been quickly changing their website, do you think that the world who signed their petition will remember that wildcare misled them when their header on this site linking to their petition, and vice versa, claimed that 'they don't have to die' for their insisting proposed translocation? The world will certainly remember the horror of the inhumane process of herding, etc, for the translocation that they witnessed thanks to the media. wildcare have collected $1,121.55, from the public, claiming that it is for materials for those who are protecting the beloconnen roos. Currently, That would still be defence, except that they are not protecting them, they are slaughtering them, and cruelly placing large invasive collars onto them through an inhumane process for research. So far, Any money paid out by me, and going towards saving these defence kangaroos, has been forked out of my own pocket. I didn't ask the world to pay me any money, so that I can give it to others. |
