It is outrageous and disgusting to slaughter Kangaroos in the manner they are decimated.
Nothing about the slaughter is humane. Unless you shoot thousands of Kangaroos at once it is not humane not even the clubbing of the defenseless joeys or the joeys depending on their mother.
Killing the kangaroos one by one over a long period of time is cruel, barbaric and unacceptable.
Everyday the surviving animal has to wait for its turn to be massacred and becomes more traumatized the longer it survive
It is stressed out and does not eat. If the animal has not been killed he/she /it will return to the place where it was last with his/her family, friends and relatives and waits for them to come back.
It smells the blood etc. and calls for their mates.. and waits..and waits... If that is not cruel than what is it.
I also question where the Authorities get their Kangaroo population figures from to make up the number for slaughter.
On the Official Gov website it clearly shows that the Kangaroo numbers have been dwindling over the past 10 years.
Perhaps the Kangaroo slaughter is another job for certain boys???
I would like to have a real investigation into ACT`Kangaroo slaughters...

Its a pity Julia Gillard doesnt see the same for our kangaroos and she does for our beef going to such shocking slaughter houses.  We are just as bad as the Indonesians.
