Beating trolls is both an honourable and valued service however, some believe that the world is already past peak Wombat and a global shortage is only a matter of time. Wolverines are none to common either although some research indicates that they are far more effective for beating trolls than are Wombats and have a very favourable service life as troll-smackers. Surely the elimination of trolls might might be desirable even if not on the current agenda?
Perhaps a compromise troll beater, say replacing Wombats with Louisviille Slugger Ballbats?

The symbolism of beating trolls with Wombats is deep, profound and not to be trifled with but in practice, few things compare with good old-fashoned hardwood.

Gotta love how quickly the Party Leader can lose control of the Party's core message to the pitchfork and torch crowd...
