bilby commented on the word agile wallaby
"Wallabies trapped inside a fence at a Territory air base are breeding like rabbits, preventing aeromedical rescue services from using the strip. The number of wallabies thought to be trapped inside a fence at RAAF base Tindal has more than quadrupled in the past year. The wallaby population has been multiplying despite a culling program undertaken by Defence that has seen 236 wallabies killed. The NT Health Department stoppped using the base for aeromedical emergencies last November after two Pearl Aviation planes hit agile wallabies on the runway."

Apparently not agile enough to get out of harm's way.

Why don't they let them out of the fence or relocate them instead of slaughtering them?
Wait. I guess that's a dumb question.

You said it. I don't know why they don't open the freaking fence. Surely there's a gate or gates.

I don't think that's a dumb question either.
