Skippy takes a beating...

I know it’s been a while since I have written on this thing. I don’t know if it’s because I don’t want people to think that I have no life and just blog all day, or if it’s because nothing has really inspired me in the last few weeks. Whatever, I’ll just get on with it.

Today’s topic is kind of a rehash of the last instalment. Only it’s in another country, far away from North America, but it does demonstrate that ignorance and cruelty have no boundaries.

So down in Australia some morons decide that they need to demonstrate their dominance over the local wildlife. I am suspecting that they did put some thought into this and before actually engaging any of nature’s beasts, in this case a kangaroo, they took the time to learn some fighting disciplines and techniques so not to go in unprepared.

Now normally I would support this. I completely enjoy watching people square off against wild animals. Roy of Sigfried and Roy had his time with that white tiger, Steve Irwin and the sting ray, one of my personal favourites was of some dumb chick jumping the barrier at a zoo to get closer to a polar bear for a picture. All ended in either death or sever mauling! Most have the animal at a disadvantage (save the Steve Irwin incident but that’s going to happen when you let your guard down) but the end result is basically the same. Don’t screw around with Mother Nature.

Here’s the Rub…

These losers decided to increase their chances of winning by finding a lame, smaller animal that would have avoided conflict. They found a kangaroo that had been previously struck by a vehicle then proceeded to videotape the beating of this defenceless animal, severely injuring it further and possibly leaving it to die. The fate of the animal is not known unfortunately.

Now all of Australia is hunting these bastards down trying to bring them to justice. I am not familiar with Australian law in these matters but I hope to God that it is nothing like the laws we have here in BC. If they are then all they will get is a stern lecture, a lollipop, and be forced to promise that they will never do that again before we send them off to therapy to assist them in getting through all the trauma the whole justice system just put them through. Don’t worry though our taxes will cover it all.

Personally I think that, if and when they do catch these pricks, they should have a rematch with another kangaroo that is a little more on it’s game. Same health level would be nice. Let them go at it for 3 rounds no holds barred and only one can walk out. That would be a video worth watching.
