Jim, I'm not trying to be disrespectful to Australians at all. I
actually like Australia very much, I just don't happen to like that one
aspect called 'culling'. I am addressing you in particular, not all
Australians because I can't believe that YOU refer to wing clipping as
cruel mutilation when it is customary in YOUR country to slaughter them
for being a nuisance yet you don't ever mention being even slightly
bothered by that little detail. In fact, your post seems to support
and defend that very activity. Clipping them for safety is not cruel,
but killing them for doing what comes natural to them while they are in
THEIR natural environment IS cruel, that is my point. It is not the
birds (or any other animals) fault that humans have invaded, destroyed
and abused the animals territories and forced them to coexist with
blood thirsty humans (that applies to every country in the world in one
way or another) who have little or no respect for other living
creatures. As far as trophy hunting, that goes on in every country
with many various animals being senselessly killed by inadequate people
who falsely think that killing helpless animals for sport is going to
make them a man, and that is indeed sickening, but being this is a bird
board, I was only addressing issues concerning birds, so I'm not quite
sure why you felt the need to go into all that other stuff in your
attempt to justify culling. -Alison-
