okay ,
in the early 70's , up in the high country , s/e of Tamworth nsw .
was hunting , pigs , rabbits etc, with me Dog , and rifle .
bloody big buck Roo , and me dog got into a bit of a disagreement ,
Roo actually lured me Dog into a creek ,, and me dog followed ,,
roo grabbed me dog ,, trying to drown him ...
Okay .. sighted me 22/250 , Roo fatally disabled , Dog alive ...
PPL later said later Roo's are protected , my reply was ,,,
Okay , I FIRED a bit of lead at his chest ., he dropped ,,
he was not protected ,,,
.
before anyone jumps on the animal rights bandwagon ....
[those ppl should get a real job , and live in the bush for a while ] ..
and yes in those days i was a Pro roo shooter ,
my dog was more valuable to me than a wild feral animal ....
