Kangaroo control, the farmers way

We at dingo screaming have been quite for over a year now, this is due to an important matter concerning the dingo in Victoria and we were biding our time to see what the outcome brings before making any further comments, until now.



Recently we received a comment from a true blue dingo killer, who eats and drinks from the blood of dingoes. He told us to pull our head in, well Tyrone, he is our reply.






These poor people called farmers who you are saying brought to their knees by the dingo, are mostly farming marginal land that can not sustain this intense attack on a fragile environment. The damage that sheep cause to our arid landscape can only be seen when land is bought and grazing is banned, this was personally seen recently when visiting a property in the arid area of NSW. When grazing was halted, the recoupment of rare flora flourished. The contrast between this reserve and its neighbouring pastoral holding was like chalk and cheese. This proves that we should change the way we use this beautiful land, we call Australia and preserve it for future generations.


Comments made by Tyrone also indicated he was a native animal pest controller and he could sleep well at night knowing he performs these tasks for the farmer. We are not saying Tyrone is in anyway connected with these next images but this is how other pest controllers in the outback go about their work.

Water is an effective tool in controlling animals in the outback. Property owners fence off water points and install gates. These gates are designed to work one way. They let the animals (kangaroos) in and then the animal is caught there until it starves to death, they never die of thirst as there is plenty of water.

The following images were taken at one water point where there was a least twenty five skeletal remains of kangaroos of varying ages from little joeys to the old buck, most of them lying against or near the fence looking at what they wanted only metres away, Food. The vegetation, now flourishes within the enclosure but would have soon been depleted with this number of kangaroos.

One must ask ourselves, is this a legitimate way of controlling animals or is it some form of a warped sadistic mind bent on causing suffering of animals for the sake of making money. The dingo left alone would control these kangaroo numbers, as it has done for thousands of years but then how could you go to sleep knowing no animal is suffering, Tyrone.

Every corner had kangaroo skeletons,bleaching in the hot arid sun.

Only metres away from food to appease their hunger but a barrier of steel was there executioner.

The vegetation has now grown back.

A proud old buck roo lay against the fence to die while the farmer slept in his bed.

This poor creature looked like it was crawling when it died, struggling to survive to the end.

A Joey lies were it fell with hunger.

The strong healthy kangaroos could try and jump the fence; left dangling there until they died of thirst and starvation, and while the other kangaroos trapped in the enclosure are traumatised by the sight of the struggling kangaroo.

 
 
 
 

FOOTNOTE: After several communiqués with Tyrone, we come to an understanding that Tyrone conducts himself in a professional way in dealing with the problems living in the bush. He has also stated his disgust in the way these kangaroos were dealt with. While we may not like him shooting our dingoes, he has pointed out it’s a quicker and cleaner way than using baits laced with 1080 poison. We may agree on this point.(Read Tyrone comments)
