Save the kangaroos!

[Euphoric Sunrise]

First we're culling them, next we are in danger of losing them. It's quite disheartening really [].
Well, here's hoping they are able to stick around.

Hi Nagual,

Thanks for the thread, although a sad story, hopefully it will raise awareness and the remaining kangaroos will be protected. By the way, I thought that your news item would be most appropriate for our new subforum and moved it here. I hope that it is alright with you. If not, please pm me and we'll work something out.


Very best,

Hi guys,

One of my friends used to shoot kangaroos on his parents farm and also had a couple of friends who are professional kangaroo shooters.  Basically, to be a kangaroo shooter you have to from 50-100metres out be able to shoot a penny swinging on string and hit the string. If you can't do that then you will be wasting too much ammo and so you won't actually make any money since you'll just be buying ammo. Thats how qulaified you have to be so as kangaroos are basically dead before they hit the ground.  I do feel really sorry about if there are any joeys in their pouches.


I think our farmers in the outback should really be farming kangaroos instead of cattle.  Much better suited to the environment and much better meat.  Problem solved.

Hope I didn't offend anyone.

For our Australian friends:

I remember some people saying that Australia was overpopulated by kangaroos...  Apparently, it changed.
