Yet more problems for persecuted cockatoos - West Australia
<http://candobetter.org/node/1390>

Posted July 11th, 2009 by admin <http://candobetter.org/user/1>

"I have personally given all my energy and strength to bring the plight
of these birds to every Australian and beyond. I have at times put the
birds before my family..." Glenn Dewhurst, Black Cockatoo Conservation
Team, West Australia. Now, however, the team feels that it is under
attack and stonewalled by government. How long can these wildlife
warriors personally sustain the unreasonable pressure on them to desist
from preventing the West Australian Cockatoo from dying out? See also

<http://candobetter.org/files/queenslander.jpg>If "Australia was a big
country well able to absorb a bigger population", then we would have
full employment, public infrastructure and services would have excess
capacity ready to cope, federal and state governments would be in
surplus and there would be no undue pressures on our economy, society or
ecology.
But this is clearly not the case.
