So the USA is slowly banning kangaroo products.
Hmm, maybe the USA should be more concerned about the treatment of their animals before looking intervening internationally. Cows, pigs, and chickens raised in squalor, plumped to unhealthy sizes, and promptly slaughtered. They can’t even manage their wildlife issues of predator culling and deer populations, so what moral highground do they have to pass judgement on the practises of foreign nations? You’d think oil was involved with this sort of meddling. Not that it justifies any of it, just a bizarre thing for the USA to bleed their hearts about. They will drop a bomb on an Iraqi goat farming village but shooting roos is too far it seems.
At least where I am from the roos have huge populations, rampant, they have few predators, and the dominate the food chain of other herbivores, The professional hunting of roos was like a drop in the ocean, people got paid, farmers dont have to worry about it themselves, and carcass was used, instead of just rotting on the ground. A pro shooter will use one bullet to kill, some out of empathy, others because it is efficient and cost effective. It isnt a perfect industry and there are some slimeballs out there, but many also hunt wild pigs, which are a menace, more so than roos. People get this idea in their head that lassez faire with the environment is how it is meant to be, but that isnt always the case, some animals will go extinct, others will dominate, kangaroos dominate. Just letting all the things go the natural course is naive, look at beavers they literally fuck up the ecosystem if they are to do what is natural to them.
I have shot a and killed a roo. No interest in doing it again.
