Animal lovers are barking mad over derogatory animal expressions used by Townsville mayor Jenny Hill to justify giving the Indian coalminer Adani $18.5million . First off , she said it was a dog eat dog business world out there . Then she followed up with the cruel statement that she would not care if cats fuelled power stations .
Shocked RSPCA spokesman Charlie Chien today said it is unfortunate that the mayor denigrated man's best friend and pussies galore by her use of inappropriate language .
"Fancy saying you would not mind if cats were fed into generator blades just to provide light in the council bunker , " Chien, shaking his head in dismay, said . "It would have been better and more apt for her to have stated that mouldy Indian chapatis would be a good source of fuel ."
On Magnetic Island , he continued, the council was ruining the image of Koalas as cuddly, harmless , little creatures , with the numerous Welcome to Magnetic Island banners it put up at the ferry terminal walkway which are flapping dangerously in the wind . In the process , Koala panels are twisted into grotesque looking animals , likely to give children nightmares, resulting in bed wetting . One , below , makes a bung-eyed Koala look like a battered Fred Dagg drawing of an Emu in concrete gumboots , which has just been through 10 rounds with a boxing Kangaroo for the world title in Brisbane .
The wall of flapping panels could physically injure innocent children wanting to get up close . One twisted panel could even become a lethal weapon . The potential is there for a furry marsupial to become a Killer Koala- if it knocked a strolling, unsuspecting tourist to the ground .
Magnetic Island ,Townsville's tourist Jewel in the Crown, home of the rare flying Koala , a knockout attraction . In a PR stunt , the mayor and a party recently came to the island , hopped about like Skippy on a bush picnic , renamed the place Cowboys Island , and fled back to town on a ferry .
