    Any activities planned for Warrah day?

    The Warrah is the poster child (“poster canine”) of what happens when you trust the British. A docile and innocent creature viciously exterminated off the face of the Earth. Apparently they weren't even aggressive to humans.

    Nice job Falklanders.

    There are a number of reports about Warrahs attacking people CasTroll; but mostly they attacked sheep, which sealed their fate. Now tell me about all those ex-slaves that Argentina used as cannon-fodder. Nice job Argies.

    Let's hear fidelito's explanation of the extermination of not just the animals in Argentina but the people as well.

    In very recent times.

    So, fidelito, what is the real number of people killed and disappeared by your government during the Dirty War? 30,000? And how long did it take your argies to completely exterminate the Yamana and the Selknam in rather recent times? I hear the last ones died in the 1970s.

    Of course, in Peroncholandia it's always open season for murdering your prosecutors.
