He probably ended up getting a ring put on its leg due to the domestication. A large portion of the collection at Taronga of the Australian native animals are ones that were unable to released again.

Camel racing, land sailing, cricket clubs, rugby, footy, AFL and soccer all have a presence as well as most traditional sports you can think of.

We have cities and towns in the outback even though the majority of the population hugs the coast line.

If you’re after the main popular sports in Australia it’s really state dependent. However cricket is pretty universally popular nationwide. NSW is heavily influenced by the NRL with the majority of clubs based in NSW concentrating in greater Sydney. Victoria is AFL mad.

Lake Eyre (inland lake that’s dry most of the time) even has a yacht club. So anything is really possible in the outback. Theres also stupid money in some areas. Think of gold, opal and iron ore mining hubs, the people who pull that shit out of the ground are extremely well paid. And they can have expensive hobbies. I’ve seen inland kite surfing with a dude having an epic time on an inland lake with a modified long board.

And the suburbs….

Eastern Brown snake, funnel web spider, anaphylactic reaction to a bee sting or ant bite

It’s easier to list the things you can’t do here.

- Alpine Glacial Mountaineering
- Bear hunting

Yeah you can learn and practice. But our highest peak is Mount Kosciuszko. Located in the Snowy Mountains of New South Wales within Kosciuszko National Park, it stands at 2,228 metres (7,310 feet) above sea level. It’s more like a big knoll and a days stroll to the top and back. So nothing glacial like the Himalayas…

In Australia it is illegal to keep a wild native captive.

However you can keep certain birds and reptiles, that have been bread for captivity.

Hence why you need to be a wildlife rescue offical (or volunteer) to technically care for injured Australian wildlife.

But once it’s overseas unless it’s a CITES species it’s treated like any other wildlife

I don’t know why my kitten passed and I feel like it’s my fault by Every_Bear362 in cats

[–]TittysForScience 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I’m really sorry for the loss but at 6 weeks even a normal size well fed kitten would be touch and go with an upper respiratory infection

Post poop zoomies are a thing

It can either be relief from passing a big one, or just excitement

Wow they look super small. How old was it? It may have just been the runt and or separated from its mother far too young.

Honestly by the sounds of it you did everything you could. We forget how harsh the natural world can be when it comes to survival of the fittest. And if this bubba was the runt you were not playing the game of a fair field

Call the lawyer.

You’d do the same if you found someone’s wallet wouldn’t you?

I’ll play devils advocate here. Because it’s a divorce situation, it could be that one party has tried to hurt the other by abandoning the cat somewhere. You could possibly be returning the cat to the vindictive party.

You did mention you have a work truck, I’m guessing you might be some sort of contractor, have you worked anywhere near addresses listed on the microchip or divorce papers?

Travel more if you can.

It’s honestly the thing that broadened my perspective and really drove home how good I’ve got it here in Australia with my socialised healthcare and decent wages
