Guardian emus eat locusts, kill foxes on Portland raspberry farm — and make cuddly pets
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-10-21/ ... /101550874
Emus, a farmer's friend or foe?
Craig Woods's affection for emus flies in the face of historical relationships between Australian farmers and this large, speedy native bird.
The most vivid example of this animosity is the emu-proof fence that protects West Australian wheat farmers from the trampling feet of huge mobs of migrating emus in search of food and water.
Then there is the great Emu War of 1932 — a conflict waged by returned WWI soldiers armed with machine guns against some 20,000 emus that had assembled near Campion.
As the story goes, these soldiers were already battling Western Australia's harsh conditions along with falling wheat prices, and the influx of thousands of emus trampling their wheat was one foe too many.
The emu war made some impact, but subsequent emu-culling bounties in 1934 proved to be more efficient.
In comparison with the huge numbers of wild emus that can destroy crops, the handful of domesticated emus on Mr Woods' farm behave like a guardian species that he says can be imprinted on a mob of cattle, sheep or chickens.

Hey SAVers. Given the amount of bickering we've seen on the comments and forums lately, I thought I'd share some observations. First, these types of attacks on people who are essentially in the same tribe is the reason that Democrats and liberals lose elections. It's certainly how Donald Trump became president. You see, liberals aren't very good at being a tribe. Conservatives are excellent at it. Go and read Truth Social, or a Q-Anon site and you'll find that people are too busy agreeing with one another to argue; what they agree on is danger posed by the "other" side. America and the world are in grave danger from these solid tribes of idiots, and all the while liberals and centrists are bitching about each other as much as they are about the real enemy...the right wing. The split between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders CAUSED Donald Trump to win, and what followed with the Supreme Court. Now abortion is being banned across the country, and barriers to voting by minorities are being constructed. This kind of split would never happen today on the right. Once a conservative candidate is chosen they all follow suit like a good tribe and march together to win. The behavior of many on this site is a microcosm of the bigger problem; somehow we need to march together and quit bickering and focus our energies on the real enemies instead of ourselves.
By the way, having a common enemy is exactly what made the United States great in the first place. The Conservatives NEED an enemy, and so during my lifetime I saw the value of the existence of the Soviet Union. We all agreed that we should have better educated population than the Soviet Union, that we should have better scientists than the Soviet Union, that we should have better athletes than the Soviet Union. Since the fall of the Soviet Union we've turned on ourselves, or rather the right wing has turned on the next best thing to the Soviet Union, the "socialist" liberals, which we all know is a farce but it's what they need to maintain their tribe.
What I'd like to ask the tribe left here at SAV is to focus on being a tribe by focusing on the enemy. The enemy comprises the right wing, the anti-vaxxers, the anti-scientists, the flat earthers, the religious zealots, and the Trumpers.
Thanks, carry on and all that. Now that the pandemic is winding down, we're going to be refocusing this site on "kookbabblers" and other right wing nut jobs that I had no idea even existed before taking on this site. Until then I've got a backlog of anti-vaxxers to post for posterity purposes, and I'm considering making these stories NFTs. That way they can exist on the blockchain forever so that people in the future can look back and see just how stupid anti-vaxxers were.
Carry on!

A few disjointed thoughts... I don't like the idea of characterizing fellow Americans as "enemies." It just rubs me the wrong way. Also, I'm not sure I buy into the whole right wing united front thing. I know here in AZ we have nutjob MAGA types, and then regular Republicans that are horrified at what their party has become. They are crossing party lines in some instances and endorsing *gasp* Democrats over election deniers and insurrectionists. But yeah, there is a place for good natured fighting in the primary, but once we have a candidate, we all need to stand behind them and against the MAGA types, regardless of who we really wanted. No pouting and staying home. Hold your nose and vote to save our Republic. Reasons like these are why I've supported McMullin in Utah. Is he my favorite? No, but he is head and shoulders above MAGA nutjob Mike Lee.pipistrelle wrote: ↑Fri Oct 21, 2022 8:34 am Discuss.
