An iconic bird in the big scheme of things
\nThe wedge tailed eagle with
\nThe broadest of wings
\nPerth Mint creates bullion
\nAnd they
\nWere Significant coinage
\nIn every way
\nA beautiful bird
\nWith full feathered legs
\nHandsome to look at
\nWith its wisdom it begs
\nThe viewer to realise
\nThis lovely soul
\nWas born in the outback
\nAnd can control<\/p>\n
The environment really
\nIt\u2019s built to be
\nEfficient and able
\nIn its territory
\nThe Victorian Wildlife Act
\nProtects its way
\nBut sadly there are folk
\nOut there today<\/p>\n
Who believe they are pests
\nTaking a lamb or two
\nBut feasting on Rabbits
\nAnd lizards they do
\nalso take cats and dogs
\nSuch is their will
\nAnd recently two men.decided to kill<\/p>\n
Using a DuPont made LANNATE
\nA vile insecticide
\n\u201cMethomyl\u201d based
\nAnd trying to hide
\nA large application
\nSeemingly they
\nKilled 429 wedge tailed Eagles
\nThat way<\/p>\n
Causing an affliction
\nRespiratory paralysis
\na shameful way
\nOf murdering these birds
\nMaking them pay
\nA high price for being
\nAnd sharing the land
\nWith iniquitous farmers
\nWho by their own hand<\/p>\n
Created a death trap
\nSuch mendacity
\nIn contravention
\nSuch duplicity
\nI can\u2019t for the life of me
\nUnderstand why
\nhumans would do this
\nSee so many die<\/p>\n
JOHN AUER and MURRAY SILVESTER<\/p>\n
Found guilty and heavily fined
\nGood behaviour and corrective orders
\nFine and some jail time<\/p>\n
It is my belief minimum 10 years hard labour
\nWoukd be more accountable<\/p>\n
