Rotting corpses
The old Aussie adage "If it moves, shoot it; if it doesn't, chop it down" is still the guideline for the authorities.
The latest outrage to shoot cockatoos in Sydney is as stupid as it is callous.
Live cockatoos are worth a mint overseas - a good export earner you would think.
No, not to our authorities and politicians. They would rather see them as rotting corpses.
