We are all like one family. This is like my elder brother got shot, or maybe my son or my cousin.” – A traditional owner laments the culling of a rogue croc

I’m sure when Bowen forces us all to eat bugs the good lady will suddenly discover she likes crocodiles in more ways than one. Apparently they really do taste like chicken.
Far from regarding mega-fauna as family, Aborigines have traditionally driven every creature worth a barbecue to extinction. Aborigines, in fact, may be – singularly – the worst preservers of wildlife on the planet.
This is a criticism of a branch of fallen, dumb humanity – the other branches having incarnations of dumbness all their own – not a criticism of a “race.”
They eat crocodiles. Plain and simple. He is a bull artist.
Some songs come to mind:
I Am A Croc – Simon & Garfunkel
It’s Only Croc ‘n Roll (But I Like it)… otherwise I’ll Have A Cornish Pastie
– The Rolling Stones
“Aunty” is a she. Not sure when “Aunty” became an acceptable honorific in journalism, by the way. She isn’t my aunty.
CL: as I walk around the Vatican looking at relics should I dismiss them as ridiculous pagan objects? Or respect the beliefs of those who worship?
If Aunty Kathleen invites you for dinner to meet the “family”, DON’T GO. 🙂
It’s odd that some Aboriginal people claim it’s traditional to respect wildlife.
They can’t be unaware of their own practices, past and present.
Walking around the Vatican dismissing relics isn’t so bad; just don’t call anyone Uncle.
It’s almost as big a myth as the one that pre-1788 Australia was idyllic, all living in harmony, holding hands and sitting around campfires singing Kumbaya.
The truth was far more brutal.

I don’t believe for one second that an aboriginal person sincerely considers a croc a family member.
I remember watching a program where Aboriginal rangers in the NT were culling problem crocodiles at the request of local indigenous and removing their tails for said indigenous to eat.
Only the relics of crocodiles.
The spiritual power of relics is a subjective matter for non-Catholics; you’re free to regard them any way you like. That the dead crocodile was not the woman’s relative – or the equal of a human relative in any known legal or ethical sense – is not a subjective question. It is an objective statement of fact.
Not a tear was shed.
Aborigines are legally allowed to hunt, kill and eat numerous native fauna that others are not.

Yeah, nah.
Murandoo Yanner [he’s been quiet] got 2 years jail for killing a coupla crocs around Mt Isa about 15 years ago.
They’re right about killing that big croc, though.
The big guy was the King in that part of the river, now a heap of males will move in looking to take his harem.
MegaFauna were extincted 10,000 years ago, according to experts.
Estimated occupancy of present day Aborigines is more like 2500 years.
Turtles?
Mungo Man wasn’t aboriginal then Ed?
I’m sure whoever he was he liked a dinner of roasted giant wombat.
As for Nix, you’re welcome to worship a crocodile if you want.
I wouldn’t mind watching. I’m not a squeamish person.
The case (29 years ago) was dismissed by the magistrate, Ed.
Nobody went to prison.
The Queensland government appealed and won.
He went to the High Court, beat the state and secured hunting privileges for Aborigines in Yanner v Eaton, 1999.
Yanner was arrested in August on violence, drugs, supplying drugs and fraud charges.

Apparently, he was using crocs as “mules”.

Not as we understand the Term, Bruce.
Neither was Kow Swamp Woman, these people were not from the Aboriginal Race.

Thanks for the good news, C.L..
Even though he made his name at the Aboriginal Legal Service, Wayne Goss’ Government was no friend to Qld Aborigines.
Ed, you have completely missed my inference. 😀
The indigenes ate the megafauna. Yum!
Call them whoever you want but humans love to eat slow moving animals. Giant wombats were the Maccas of 40,000 BC.
The indigenes ate the megafauna.
We don’t know that either.
The things were so large, how could Hunter/Gatherers process them for eating?
How? Let me tell you a story Ed.
Aboriginal owned cattle stations are run much better these days, but thirty years ago I visited one where they had bought a pair of Santa Gertrudis Bulls to improve the quality of the herd. Because they were about $30k each, they were put in the home paddock to keep an eye on them. But the boys got hungry one night and shot the most handy beasts they could find. Cut off one haunch from each and left the rest to rot.
Re Murandoo Yanner,
Around the same time that case was going through the courts, there was a case out of either Yeppoon or Gladstone, where this Indigenous owned 60 ft trawler was done under the fisheries act for catch violations of some sort.
The magistrate let him off because traditional hunting rights, with the result indigenous trawlers can ignore fisheries act restrictions in Qld waters.
Yanner is a grub. Also a coward, the strong words on armed resistance he has gobbed off with have come to nothing just like every other criminal.
How? Let me tell you a story Ed.
Look, Entropy, I’m sure you’re a nice old Aborigine hatin’ geriatric, but i find your story hard to believe.
Thousand pound carnivorous Wombats 10,000 years ago, they weren’t being killed for food.
You mean like the American bison weren’t hunted for food, Dick Ed? FMD you are stupid.
Why hard to believe Ed? Offend you somehow? The point is they got replacement bulls quite quickly. The cows didn’t miss out on boyfriends.
Btw I would probably be younger than you.
Woolly mammoths (which weighed up to six tonnes) were hunted for food and other reasons.
Jules has gone for the “if Michael Bolton turned transwoman” look? At least this time she hasn’t exploited the right to bare arms.

Look, I don’t want to start a Flame War, so I’ll just point out a coupla deficiencies in your, er, tale.
There is no known way on this earth to cook Bull Meat.
Yeah, it can be minced and made into Salami, but that’s about it.
Your Aborigines couldn’t distinguish a pair of Bulls from a pair of Steers or Heifers?
Let’s put it this way:
I has me doubts.
Woolly mammoths (which weighed up to six tonnes) were hunted for food and other reasons.
Yeah, on the Tundra, where the ground is frozen 24/7/365 and there’s no risk of spoilage.
Weather conditions are a bit different in Mainland Australia.
You mean like the American bison weren’t hunted for food, Dick Ed? FMD you are stupid.
Pot calling kettle, are you reading me, copy?
Plains Indians weren’t hunting Buffalo before the Spanish introduced horses, old boy.
Sometimes the level of stupid is so great, you wonder why you come here and hope it isn’t rubbing off.
“Head smashed in buffalo Jump” I have visited in Canada, and yet this retard writes this?
God help Australia.
You are wrong again Ed. Plenty of ancient cave art depicting hunting of large animals. Have a look at the survival series Alone for more recent examples. On one episode a man killed a musk ox by himself and on another episode a different man killed a moose. No firearms, just bow and arrows. Pretty sure a group of hungry Aboriginals could kill a diprotodont.

Not in Australia it doesn’t.
And we’re talking about Australia, remember?
God help Australia.
Huh?
Tell me, what part of
Plains Indians weren’t hunting Buffalo before the Spanish introduced horses, old boy.
are you having trouble understanding?
The ‘branches’ running western governments at the moment being the most obvious examples.

Its truth?
Stone age Man apparently had some success killing mammoths.
