Man cites 'development reasons' for running over plover chicks in nest with ute - eviltoast

Warning: This article contains details of animal cruelty that some readers may find distressing.

Another 40 lashes with a wet lettuce leaf for animal cruelty. RSPCA would have spent thousands in dollar terms alone getting this to court, let alone the lost hours cost, and this feral bogan (in a dual cab 4x4 - what a surprise) gets off with a fine that would cost less than one replacement muddy for his sick rig.

After a lengthy investigation involving Parks and Wildlife, RSPCA and witnesses, the man received a “formal warning” and a $718 fine.

    They’re pretty dangerous if you’re walking or riding around near them. I’d like to see some sort of action from government to get rid of them.

    I’m not fond of the birds either but they can stay.

      How do you figure??

      I feel like I’m crazy pills with people saying they’re dangerous and need to be moved on. They’re about as deadly as a budgiee. If obnoxious noises scare you I hope you don’t live anywhere near a VW Golf or V8 Landcruiser owner.

          I thought you meant the bogans, get rid of them and the big dumb ute problem will solve itself with nobody to buy them
