Yeah, bees are controversial, but let’s talk about the vegans who actually eat meat

Aboriginal Australians have been hunting kangaroos for 60,000 years, and the kangaroos have adapted. Modern kangaroos tend to overpopulate and overgraze, destroying grasslands that are used as crucial habitats for threatened indigenous species. Kangaroos need to be culled to protect the environment.

All kangaroo meat comes from wild kangaroos. Hunting quotas are managed by the government based on aerial population surveys. When hunting quotas aren’t met, the remaining kangaroos have to be culled, and their meat rots in ditches and mass graves instead of being eaten.

Come on vegans, let’s get toxic. I wanna see some pro-kangatarian vegans being called murderers over this.

    You mean pull a Jurassic Park and de-extinct the marsupial lion, not introduce yet another invasive species, right?

    …right?

        That existed much more recently, but they were a lot smaller than marsupial lions. According to Wikipedia, the kind of prey they went after pretty much maxed out at the Red-necked Wallaby (13-19 kg), whereas the kangaroos we’re trying to control can weigh up to 90 kg.

          My thinking was more, that the Tasmanian Tiger, although (very probably) extinct, it would be the kangaroo hunter, they would need

          So, was more like a “fuck you guys for killing it, because it would have solved your current problem”, than a real direct answer to your comment
          Sorry for maybe displacing my answer
