23 million people
\nLive in Australia
\n1 million of them hunters
\nIt appears
\nAlmost 6 million firearms
\nRifles and shot guns
\nAll of these and bows
\nWould raise my fears<\/p>\n
Being a wild kangaroo
\nOr dingo
\nLots of introduced
\nCreatures now though
\nRabbits hares and foxes
\nCats and pigs and goats
\nHorses donkeys and deers
\nAnd feral cattle
\nCamels buffalo’s
\nSo theres some tears<\/p>\n
For lots of animals out
\nThere
\nbeing shot at
\nThe Roo
\nChital
\nSambar and fallow Deer
\nThe Rusa the red deer
\nAll get hunted
\nGame birds in new south wales
\nWhen they appear<\/p>\n
Native title and native rights
\nAre becoming
\nDifficult to quantify today
\nThe dugong and the turtle
\nAnd abalone
\nAre being killed in quantities
\nAnd the dismay<\/p>\n
Is growing among the
\nTrue conservationists
\nWho see that the endangered souls
\nAre there
\nBeing bunted by the aboriginie
\nAnd now commercially
\nWhich just isnt fair<\/p>\n
Not so much for others in Australia
\nBut the dugongs and the turtles
\nUnder fire
\nIconic in so many ways
\nBut commercially
\nIts a malaise
\nFor the dugongs and the turtles
\nIt is dire<\/p>\n
Fishing groups and green groups
\nAnd those who truly care
\nWant the aboriginie to live
\nAnd ofcourse to share
\nBut these dogongs and these turtles
\nAre getting extra grief
\nTheir numbers cannot stand the kills
\nThere is really no relief<\/p>\n
At this rate native rights
\nWhere there is no tally seem
\nNo one knows
\nNow just how endangered
\nAnd trying to redeem
\nThe knowledge casts a shadow
\nThat is darkening by the hour
\nIts nothing to do with prejudice
\nBut its causing quite a row<\/p>\n
Dugongs and turtles are being slaughtered
\nInto non existence and aboriginies must see this
\nAnd understand its for the sake of the animals
\nThat people are pointing this out<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
