This is more than five times the 30-year average population of 27 million, to provide one serving of meat per Australian per week. Therefore the "go green, eat roo" push is sham science.I can[/i]

.........So what theyre saying is that Kangaroo meat is 'not green', because you would need TOO MANY kangaroos to fully replace the beef and lamb industries!


A point in favour not against...
"Garnaut's study concluded that by 2020, beef cattle and sheep numbers could be reduced by seven million and 36 million respectively, allowing for an increase in kangaroo numbers to 240 million by 2020, from 34 million now."

There's multiple benefits for the environment in farming roo's instead, soft paws vs hard hoof, less soil damage, an animal that can self abort or suspend pregnancy in drought.. but the real problem is probably fencing. Not easy to contain and who wants to raise a mob for a neighbour to harvest. Should still work nicely for the northern cattle stations that measure their holdings in 100's of square kilometres, and those tropical cattle breeds are only fit for mince anyhow :D

This is what you get when people who have known nothing but prosperity their entire lives...

But don't worry - give it a few more years. with the way America's economy is going at the moment and the same people wanting to ban it now will be willing to import or eat any meat or decent food they can get...

China knows this... hence why they're buying up land in Australia
The middle east knows this... hence why they're buying up land in Australia

... whilst the West continues to go on in denial because most people have never known what it's like to live in true poverty with hunger.

Roo tastes like crap to me, I'd rather beef, pork, lamb, chicken etc any day over that crap.

I don't mind a Skippy steak from time to time, has to be cut across the grain and cooked on a very hot plate or it'll be tough. One of the lesser known uses of Kangaroo is for their leather hides, much lighter that cow, more resistant to abrasion and softer. Kangaroo leather has been used by the top MotoGP riders for many years as it provides superior protection to that of conventional cow leather. I'm surprised Kangaroo leather hasn't been offered as an option in an Australian made car but guess the tards would be up in paws over it...

To cowhide and pighide producers/importers probably had a say for the ban...

And on the rarer side too IMO.

Once you hit medium done it's already tough.

The animals Australia idiots who won a seat in NSW recently went to the USA to stop our Kangaroo meat industry, they are just like the greens in wanting to stop exports.

The Aborigines I hunted with a while back all said the tail is the best part.
