TARGET the KILLING of 2 million feral cats by 2020
\nUsing 1080 Sodium Fluoroacetate poisoned kangaroo meat chipolata
\nDelivered by plane.<\/p>\n
It began in 2015 and continues the idea to prevent predation
\nOf native birds and reptiles.<\/p>\n
Science can be arrogantly brazen
\nIn the way
\nOf Defying natural balances
\nAnd endeavouring to allay
\nProblems that are associated
\nWith ingress of a kind
\nWhere Non-native animals are competing
\nWith the Indigenous who find
\nTheir harmony is at variance
\nAnd if this happens we see
\nMan approach the problem
\nWith toxicity<\/p>\n
In Australia the feral cats
\nAre taking out the birds
\nThe reptiles and the smaller rodents
\nIn so many words
\nThe biosphere is suffering
\nPredation so they say
\nAnd the need to bring back into balance
\nIs why they have this way<\/p>\n
Of toxic baits and dropping
\nThem by air around the place
\n1080 is a nasty poison
\nBut something that they face
\nDown because its cheaper
\nThan trapping and they believe
\nIt targets the non natives
\nAnd so it does achieve<\/p>\n
What it is they target
\nIts known as “eradicat”
\nMade just outside PERTH
\nIn WA it killed the rat
\nBefore and in New Zealand
\nHas been used a great deal
\nIf ingested it is awful
\nCalamitous and real<\/p>\n
The dead flesh is wild Kangaroo
\nSo they kill the iconic one
\nAnd using its flesh with chicken fat
\nAnd 1080 where they have spun
\nThe story of invasive species
\nSafeguarding us all
\nBut are killing kangaroo’s
\nTo make the baits
\nWhich does appal<\/p>\n
To me its about killing
\nIts hostile and its wrong
\nThey come up with a story
\nBut it does not belong
\nReally in the argument
\nFor the cats are being shot
\nAlready 85 per cent of them
\nBy farmers who have not<\/p>\n
Ceased they earn 10 dollars
\nPer scalp and shooters do
\nCarry out their butchering
\nThey also see it through
\nSo adding to the carnage
\nAnd risk all besides
\nIs cheapening the process
\nTurning back the tides<\/p>\n
108o baits were created
\nBy a scientist they call
\nDR DEATH Forgoing breath
\nThe agony is all
\nHideous to suffer
\nThey convulse slow down
\nAnd they
\nBecome paralysed
\nand short of breath
\nBefore dying and some say<\/p>\n
The stress the fright the panic
\nWhat an awful way
\nOf leaving for the rainbow bridge
\nOn any given day
\nDogs and cats and foxes
\nAnd pigs and rabbits they
\nWill suffer catastrophically
\nAs they pass away<\/p>\n
Such a visitation
\nOrchestrated here
\nIts callous and its pitiless
\nAnd induces in them
\nFear
\nAimed at cats its pelleted
\nInside the chipolata
\nCats ofcourse they swallow whole
\nFor them its not a starter<\/p>\n
Its cheaper to drop baits by air
\nThan lay traps which must be
\nChecked and so man power it costs
\nIndiscriminately
\nBaits are bound to cause concern
\nAnd its hard to really know
\nThe damage for the long term
\nBut it is considered low<\/p>\n
Dogs they will fall victim
\nPet cats will as well
\nWatching a pet cat die
\nLike this
\nSurely it is hell
\nImagining the victims
\nIn the wilderness alone
\nGoing through such agony
\nEntangled in the zone<\/p>\n
1080 is a nasty poison
\nIt can kill humans too
\nChildren must be careful
\nThe indigenous children who
\nFinding Any of them
\nHopefully will be
\naware they must not eat it
\nKnowledge thus is key<\/p>\n
Its the parsimonious attitude
\nThat Australia displays
\nTaking out its iconic Roo’s
\nIn all sorts of ways
\nMany of them females
\nWith joeys Dying too
\nMade into poisonous baits
\nTo protect the native
\nWho <\/p>\n
I an sure are very thankful
\nThat native species are
\nSacrificed to make a sausage
\nIts money thats the star
\nIt comes back to the meat trade
\nTo the cattle and the sheep
\nThe farmers and the shooters
\nAnd the bankers that all reap<\/p>\n
The profits from the animals
\nThat have to live and die
\nGetting short shrift from the city dwellers
\nAnd just believe the lie
\nThe lobbyists in parliament
\nIts such a frightening time
\nEmotions are being cancelled
\nThere really is no rhyme<\/p>\n
Or reason any longer
\nIts habitat aware
\nBuilding houses in the bush
\nThese days they dont care
\nWild souls are a nuisance
\nTake the trees out too
\nEveryone wants wifi
\nAnd 5 g yes they do<\/p>\n
For themselves its
\nProdigality
\nWasteful lavish they
\nConsumerism everywhere
\nThey overspend we pay
\nBut in the world where animal tribes
\nHave lived as have the Roo’s
\n80,000 years or more
\nBut now the latest news<\/p>\n
Built around our disrespect
\nAnd miserly display
\nWe aerial bomb the sausages
\nOn any given day
\nMade up of poor dead kangaroo’s
\nWho didnt do us harm
\nWho have leaped the bush for centuries
\nBut now ofcourse the farm<\/p>\n
The great estates
\nThe cattle the buffalo the sheep
\nThe money helicopter roundups
\nYes it makes me weep
\nLive exports to the MIddle EAST
\nHalal all the way
\nTerror on the high seas
\nJust so it does pay<\/p>\n
Obtuseness and insensitivity
\nThe order of each day
\nMost are unresponsive
\nTo the beach and barby they
\nAre into their big mortgage
\nAs for the kangaroo
\nThe long eared mouse or the
\nEagle
\nThey havent got a view<\/p>\n
So they manufacture suffering
\nPut science in the lead
\nStick BIG PHARMA somewhere
\nThen we can succeed
\nThe despairing and the hopeless
\nThe humiliated souls
\nWhose eyes too share the wilderness
\nAnd their gratifying roles<\/p>\n
Out of sight and out of mind
\nThe wild ones soldier on
\nDespite the heat despite the lack of water
\nWhen they are gone
\nNo one seems to grieve for them
\nEvery flipping where
\nShooters yea they are out there
\nWith their brand of despair<\/p>\n
As to sterilization
\nApparently that stinks
\nIt costs too much
\nAnd there you have it
\nReally its the links
\nAnything where profit
\nIs affecting the meat trade
\nThe lobbyists are earning
\nAnd on their backs its laid<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
