Wilf Batty, a Tasmanian farmer, is famous for doing what in 1930?

Capturing the last Thylicene?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Well I'm all out of extinct Tasmanian animals.

Killing the last indiginous Tasmanian?

Shooting the last Tazzie Tiger. Over the years there have been many claimed sightings these have been diligently checked out but nothing could be confirmed iirc.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Yep.  Well, the last wild tiger anyways.  But close enough.

Wasn't that what Raz said?

capturing /= shooting



Before the Battle of Kulikova a champion from each side presented himself and they fought a duel, what was the outcome of the duel.

The battle of Kulikova.

The battle would have happened with or without the duel, lets try an outcome that depended on the duel itself.
