Ute vs Roo

[den]

Dad hit a kangaroo on the way home. The roo was a big male, about 7 feet tall. Mum and Dad are lucky the animal bounced right over the top and didn't come through the windscreen.

They're okay, but the ute and the kangaroo are totalled.









Well, bugger. But the company needed a new truck anyway. Now the accountant will let us buy it.

Okay.

Over the years I have hit kangaroos, wallabies, possums, snakes, lizards, bats and any number of birds. Instead of feeling empty and hating myself and society, I felt sad that I couldn't prevent that animal from being killed.

I belong to WIRES (http://www.wires.org.au/) and have rescued and rehabbed more birds and animals than I can remember. Animals and brids that can't be rehabbed I euthanase. I do it myself - by hand. I hate it and it makes me feel crappy but it has to be done, because that death is faster and preferable to the one nature had intended.

I am a conservationist and environmentalist and I would love to see the world's human population stop growing. I would also love to see every feral cat, dog, fox, rabbit, pig, goat, horse, donkey, starling, mynah, pigeon and cane toad EXTERMINATED from the face of this continent.

The car I drive is a 2-wheel drive sedan that gets 40mpg. The truck in the photo is also 2 wheel drive, and is full of tools and equipment. We don't take kids to soccer in it; we use it to build pollution control systems.

I lke anthropomorphic animals, comics, cartoons, books. I have more Bat-related items around my home than would be considered normal. I write furry stories, and dragon stories. I am a Furry. I also like beer.

This is also my journal. I don't like anti-human sentiment. It is one aspect of Furries and Otherkin that really gives me the shits.
