Australians told to eat more roo
2017-09-12
[STANDARD.CO.UK] Australians have been told to hunt and eat kangaroos after the population of the marsupial reached double that of humans.

New data shows the kangaroo population in Australia is close to hitting 50 million, while the human population stands at 24 million.

Experts are now warning Australians to hunt, eat and cull the native animal or face being overrun by it.

The kangaroo population has boomed in recent years, rising to 45 million last year from 27 million in 2010, news.com.au reported. The huge rise in kangaroo numbers is thought to be due to an abundance of food after high rainfall.

#5  When I was a kid, there was a place we went to that served kangaroo burgers. Taste is similar to horsemeat.

#4  Eat the roo to make the poo....

I hear it is tasty. Best response to invasive species is to put them on the top of them menu special list.

#3  When I was in Sydney I ate kangaroo. It was in some kind of sauce, so I couldn't tell if it was more like chicken or beef.

Every time I go to Outback, I ask why they don't have roo on the menu.

#2  Better to start rechecking your pet food ingredient listings. Fist start with looking for 'Made in China' before processing to even believe the list.
