[Mishmash] FYI: Fwd: ACT/ Protest Australia's Mass Kangaroo Kill

[Robyne Kerr]

Hi Dick, seems a waste if the meat if it can be used and true is 
isn't nice to find buck shot in the meal.

Kangaroo needs to be cooked very quickly on a hot BBQ or cook it very slowly.

It is sad to have to kill kangaroos but it is awful to see them 
starve slowly. We have had terrible drought in Australia and they 
compete with sheep and cattle or just ruin crops so it is very hard 
for the farmers. They can leap very high fences so that doesn't keep 
them out.

I keep my  grass watered and have no fences so I get lots of them 
visit my back yard.
