I have read that kangaroos are quite wild and damaging, but I didn't know that much.
It is true that hunting and culling is not the same thing but it is good that it is regulated to maintain properties and crops.
I must admit that I would find it hard to kill an animal. But if I had no other choice I think I would do it.
I have eaten deer and it is a delicious meat, kangaroo meat should be too.
I agree, it is preferable that this work is done by someone responsible and who knows what they are doing, it is not cruel, these are things that have to be done.
Human beings only enjoy comfort and don't know what is behind it. Complicated human beings ... to say the least.
Good job Galen!
There's so many kangaroos here they tend to become pests in areas that are farmed. With crops, the bed down, roll around and flatten it down, vast areas, reducing the harvest costing farmers money. There's otter things too, fence damage and all. Of course, they were here before us, but humans have a way of taking over I guess.
I don't expect most people to feel comfortable killing, and to be honest, there's no enjoyment in it for me; I don't trust people who like killing. That's not to say I don't do it, clearly I do.
Kangaroo meat is very lean and quite good if done right, I prefer venison though. (Deer)
In addition to the usual meats I tried wild boar and deer, I liked them. But they don't bring me the animal with head because I don't know if I'll eat it, I'm a bit stupid about that.
I say poor little animal, but I understand that it is necessary. I guess in a survival situation I would do it, kill. I think everybody would do it.
Yes the kangaroos should be there a lot longer but the human should live too, I guess control is fine.
They look so cute in the pictures... and they are so wild!
Kangaroos are pretty cute really, especially the joey's, that's what the baby ones are called. They cause some damage though, and so are controlled sometimes.
How close can you get to one? I'm already thinking about pictures haha
It depends on the conditions really, sometimes a hundred metres I guess, a little closer maybe...sometimes one can't even get within three hundred metres.
Here's a pic I took several weeks ago, I used it in a post. There's a few kangaroos in it.
Ohhh far away... I understand, you have to be careful.
I do remember that picture where you asked us to count the kangaroos, yes I do!
Ok I'll be far away from them...
