I hate roo's.
So I will leave my opinion out of it lol
I was attecked by a kangaroo when i was just 14. I hate them, there mongrel animals.
I did a WIRES co**** but decided that i didn't want to waist $600 of my own money per wallaby when you have to have 3 at a time. Then if you humanize it they want you to knock it on the head anyway. And if you don't humanize it and it gets released they will jump on someones land and get shot, LOL. It's a no win situation.
I have lived in rural australia my whole life, and i think that it depends on the area, but they can be major pests, and do need shooting. The same go's for fruit bats and flying fox's.
I still can't see why a native animal has got to such ridiculous proportions that they're starving and needing to be shot... It's an absolute tragedy that could have and should have been avoided in the first place... I don't say I have the answer, but I do say we're in the wrong as humans!
Is it really all that hard to show compassion to the roo...in light of how poorly they are treated in this country?

So what do you want to happen? do you want ppl to stop farming, stop shooting roos and start killing ppl instead?
Why are we wrong as humans? we have as much right as any creature to live on the planet.
The reason you cant see why they need to be shot is because you have obviously never seen how many there can be at times in some places. You say it could have been avoided, how could it be avoided in a realistic way? If you dont have an answer how can you say stuff like this?
Roos are currently not a major problem in Australia, the reason for this is because there numbers are controlled fairly well IMO. If there were any real signs of them being threatened then the numbers allowed to be culled would be reduced.
Since it seems to have become part of the topic i will say that there is alot of room for improvement in farming practices here and there are alot of farmers who realise this and are interested in working towards a better future.
It is very important for us to try and maintain stability and coexist with our wildlife whether you want to accept it or not, this invloves killing things.
For every roo shot there are 2 more to take its place.They are eating themselves out of the bush as did the koalas at phillip island in vic.Get a grip on reality before you preach your Save The Roos crusade they cull brumbies in the top of aus why ? because they become a problem in plague proportions,our eco system cannot afford to support all these animals without some intervention.This is a world dominated by humans is it not? without our crops and our grass and our protective legislation you would find alot more of our Natives would be gone.Farming this country of ours started long before white man ever stepped foot on the place,have a look in the history books and see how many animals used to be native to australia,we have stopped so much destruction and yet caused so much but life is life and the way is now no 500 years ago (i wish).YOure doing your bit for the roos but to mock others for their thoughts is something you have no right to do.JMO
