There is only one word to describe the type of People that commit Crimes such as this and Eddy won't let me type it ! Lets hope someone dobs them in and they pay the full penalty under the Law.

If this Criminal misuse of Bows continues we are in trouble with the current appetite Politicians and Bureaucrats have for regulating inanimate object's. Qld dodged a bullet a few years ago and I know that the Authorities in NSW have warned all Archery Governing bodies that criminal misuse of Bows is giving them serious cause for concern.

and now this in South Australia

Hi Daryl
This the picture I found on Ebay USA that I PM'd you about. You said put it up for comment.
Look carefully at smaller photo's at the bottom. There is an option to report this add.
The advertisement number on Ebay.com is 112127236377 type that into the search option
and it should bring it up for a better view of the photo's

Hi Matt,

I believe the image of the kangaroo may be a poor choice by the people promoting their product.

The sad [objectionable part] of the image is showing the arrow hanging out of the hind leg.

We do not know the origin of the photograph, where was it taken: i.e.

http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/11/ ... 96677.html

Or somewhere else?

Daryl.
