Even after the fires in 2020, the ACT government continued culling kangaroos. The killing continues. Kangaroo numbers have been declining for years. Just take a walk on Farrer Ridge. The 185 hectare reserve should accommodate over a hundred but you’ll be lucky to see a few because they got shot. Last year, Red Hill was a target and there are very few kangaroos to be seen. Not one reserve has high kangaroo numbers.
Interestingly, one of the most iconic animals of Australia is the kangaroo. Ironically, they are killed ruthlessly every night by shooters, not to mention hit by vehicles or worse.
It’s only when species become extinct we regret our decision as humans to protect and co-exist with our magnificent wildlife.
Rebecca can and absolutely should stop the killing immediately.
