[BITList] Tree Huggers

[John Feltham]

A few years ago, in the Far West of New South Wales, Australia, the  
Federal Government Regional Agriculture Service were presenting an  
alternative to the cockys problem of controlling the dingo population.

It seemed that, after years of the cockys using the tried and true  
methods of shooting and/or trapping the predators, the tree-huggers  
had a "more humane" solution. What they proposed was for the animals  
to be captured alive, the males castrated, then let loose again...and  
thus the population would be controlled.

Well, all the cockys thought about this amazing idea for a couple of  
minutes. Finally, an old boy in the back stood up, put his hat on the  
back of his head and said, Son, I don't think you understand the  
problem. These dingoes ain't fuckin' our sheep....they're eatin' 'em."

If you don't hear the knock of opportunity - build a door.
