Emu's United

It looks like there may finally be a chance for protection. Senator Peter Courtney,D Salem has introduced Senate Bill 227. Senator Courtney must be a DB lurker who decided something must be done. RT's Emu exploits and fears that Hey Y'all might make it back from the deliverance fishing trip and come visit Oregon must have convinced Courtney to introduce this bill to "Make sexually assaulting an animal a crime" to the legislature.
Keeping up with what our lawmakers are doing is a good thing.

Hey 'Salt. Thanks so much for bringing up Os's "used to be funny" fantasy story; for which I will now have to tie him up on some railroad tracks! In the meantime, rest assured I only kill, cook, and eat animals. ....

By the way, I know this world doesn't really have a shortage of whackos, but are there really enough of them actually "sexually assautling animals" that some guy has to introduce a bill to make it illegal. Geeezzz! What is going on with this planet anyways?!? Part of the penalty of getting caught should be to have video of the event played on the TV news; showing just the face of the criminal of course.

Sad to say that yes the introduction of this legislation is true.

RT,
I certainly wasn't accusing anyone of anything. Just thought this guy might have gotten the idea if he was lurking here. It seemed Fish Cop was concerned when he first heard Emu talk. I don't know if I'd talk to loudly about the video thing. It might turn up to be the subject of a new TV series. "Survivors" or "Temptation Island" may take on whole new meanings.

Huh huh...huh huh...RT "eats" emu's.

Actually, I never eaten one either. But I have read that both emu and osterich, very similar looking big birds, are as good or better eating than turkeys. I should also clarify that I stopped hunting years ago due to the bad ankle, so I actually don't kill animals either. Just get steak from the store on rare occassions.

New meaning to tickling your (fill in the blank) with a feather

[Master Baiter]

Supposedly, they are red meat like beef?

I went to the big Portland gun show a couple of years ago and they had an ostrich leg there that had been smoked. Biggest damned drumstick I ever saw. Anyway it didn't taste too bad.
This RT and Emu thing reminds me of another animal story. It's entitled "Beating a Dead Horse" ....get the hint guys?

BIGSTEW, I agree with you! Stop the insanity!

This last year my wife and I recieved a gift certificate for the Benson in downtown Portland so I took my wife out for a real fancy evening on the town and we had dinner there (have to do these things to insure those fishing days). They had ostrich on the menu (same as emu I think) so I ordered it. It was red meat like little round 1/2" thick steaks and very tasty. Don't know if I would ever eat it again but at least I can say I've tried it.
