Bad Aussies!!! :mad



Poor Koala's! They're too cute to become exinct!

[Marcus Telcontar]

What a crock of crap that article was in the main.

1) Koalas are in fact coming back in populated areas. Much to the surprise of scientists, a viable Koala population has sprung up in the state forests right in the heart of Sydney itself and is growing rapidly.

2) There is along the seaboard, about 2500 km's of either national park (1 million hectares just to the west of me in fact) or otherwise useless gullys and mountains were the koala is regainign ground after a rather nasty disease wiped out a good deal of the population.

As per usual, the truth is in between hard core loony tree huggers and the farmers wiht chainsaws. I'd say it's more likely the dimwits who run the country are going to kill the humans first when the water runs out.

[imported_Eve]

Yeah...

Koala killers!

I remember there used to be these snacks called Koala Yummies, they were little koala bear shells filled with chocolate.. and they came in this awsome box.

I loved those things.

Me thinking this not right thread to put that in...

[Garret Treborn]

Damn...Koala Bears are awesome. I saw one on Animal Planet eating a popsicle.

[imported_Eve]

I watch animal planet alot (I love Jeff Corwin). If they show koala bears I am hooked all day. They have shark week every so often, and it seems like it's always croc time, but they should have koala week. They're so interesting to watch.

Give one a hug. You;ll change your tune fast enough. After it tears your arm off with it's claws.

Never said they were friendly. Just that they are cool to watch.

[imported_Eve]

All animals are awesome (except cats). They all pretty much bite, don't they? Doesn't mean our tune changes to the extinction theme.

[Stig]

And just what have you got against us felines? Now be quiet human and give me your lap to curl up on and sleep.

[Charley]

While the koala population has declined recently, the dropbear population has been increasing at a disturbing rate.

Well, I've hugged one in your native land and cradled it in my arms, ever since koalas have been my favourite animals. I always thought they were too high on eucalyptis to claw your arm off. :lol

You can still get them btw at asian markets. They are just called something different and they still taste as good as the american version.


And I've pet a koala before and it seemed quite friendly! Evil koala killers!

[Marcus Telcontar]

Koala steak aint bad, you know. Either is Kangaroo

[Live Wire]

ewwwwwwwwwww

[Charley]

I'd eat Koala and/or Kangaroo. Sounds awesome.

I was actually being serious. Kangaroo is wonderful to eat. Koala, while tougher, is pretty okay too.

You really have to try some Kangaroo one day.

[Live Wire]

I know you were being serious. But I have rule. I don't eat anything I deem cute and furry (with the exception of cow) or anything that I once knew personally.

[Droo]

I enjoyed crocodile and kangaroo meat in either Kuranda or the Blue Mountains, can't remember but there was a rain forest involved.

[Slayn Cloak]

Koala yummies are the best...

:: goes to asian market up the street.::

This rule is stupid. Rabbit is delicious.

I wont eat dog or cat. Other than that, serve it up!

[Charley]

I have nothing against chinese or korean cuisine, respectively.

I'm assuming it has a pretty low fat content, kind of like Deer, Elk, etc?

Yeah, it does. In many ways, it's a healthier meal than steak.

[Crystal]

Other than cats or dogs,, I would probaly be up for eating any animal. As long as I didn't see it before it was cut up (alive/dead). I prefer to think of my meat like I think of bread. Just as some kind of food that got made somehow. Not that I'm eating an animal corpse.

I have had rabbit before I knew what it was, and it was good, and I'd eat it again. I probaly wouldn't have if my dad had told me before hand, which is why he didn't I'm sure.

I got a sample of crocodile/gator(dont know?) meat once and it just tasted nasty, like fish. People have told me it was probaly because they made it in grease they also made fish in. I'd be up for trying it again.

Also, Deer meat is really good. ^_^

Really? Thanks for letting me know. I'll have to run to our asian market today and get some of them. :D

I don't eat rabbit. It falls under the cute and furry rule. Also I have had rabbits as pets and they are too adorable to eat!!!!

Rabbits are a total pest. The more served up on a plate, the better off the country here is.

My opinion is, if its something you keep in a cage because it otherwise would have nothing to do with you and run away at the first opportunity, it is not a pet.

This rule excludes cooler pets like hermit crabs and turtles that can't really run away from you.

Coming from proud farming stock on my mother's side, I couldn't agree more.

Also, putting my vote down for hickory-smoked venison jerky as one of the greatest food products known to man.

Oh but they would if they could :D

How about snakes? Snakes would run away. :| Heck, even one of my cats would run outside everytime I open the door if I let her. (but she'll come back)

[Cirrsseeto Quez]

Snakes don't so much run away as much as they just hide somewhere. Besides, if your pet eats smaller animals in a totally awesome manner, then it automatically overrides this rule as well.

Not that I wouldn't eat snake, mind you, but I enjoy feeding them all the same.

[Space Pirates]

now snake meat isn't bad.

[Sejah Haversh]

Where have you found snake meat? I really want to try some.

There are some festivals in Texas where they have rattlesnake roundups and kill a whole mess of em.

[Crystal]

My dad says snake is pretty good. He also says he'll eat mine once it gets big enough.

I'd try it, aonce again, as long as I didn't see it dead. (and it wasn't my poor little sonic plinko :()

[Lain Esuna]

I've never had rabit, but have eaten almost everythign els that was mentioned. Crystal the koala yummies are in the same box! ... I alredy consumed them all though. :cry
