Another example of how misinformed animal rights activists are causing more harm than good to the kangaroos they are supposedly trying to help.
And where is the accountability for the malicious damage to infrastructure, farming practices and the mental health of those receiving death threats from these misguided vigilantes? #misguidedactivists #kangaroo www.mpnews.com.au/2021/10/04/death-threats-over-kangaroo-cull/

THE manager of a Cape Schanck property preparing to cull upwards of 250 trapped kangaroos blames “passionate, but misguided and ill-informed animal activists” for their fate. “If they had left...Typical, these activists have so much intelligence,😂🤣😂🤣, always causing more harm than good.

The Kangaroo Management Taskforce would like to thank all those who sent through photos for this "pop-up" competition to find a cover photo for a special kangaroo edition of a scientific journal we are helping to publish. We got some great pics but were particularly looking for a photo of a big mob of kangaroos for this purpose and think we've found what we need. We will post a picture of the journal cover when the publication goes to print. In the meantime, if you have great photos of kangaroos and would like to see them used in KMT publications or on social media posts (with full photo credit to the photographer of course) please always feel free to post photos in our comments section.
Thanks and Regards, the Kangaroo Management Taskforce
