Three Thousand Kangaroos... will soon be brutally murdered

When I heard the broadcast, I was shocked. They can't be serious... but they are! The kangaroo population in Australia is growing rapidly, and for their good behavior, the government is planning to SHOOT THEM ALL DOWN! WTF?!?

Australia is the only continent in the world with these big, beautiful creatures. The Australian government claims the kangaroos will starve or over-graze the grass for other creatures, but what is so hard about rounding them up and shipping them to wildlife preserves? I bet that there is plenty of land in Africa where they could run wild, and not overrun the population because of the big predators. Not to mention there are zoos that would even pay to have a few kangaroo.

I can't believe any government would feel opening fire on animals near your capital city is the way to get things done.

There's the saying that you can tell everything about a man by the way he treats women... what about the way he treats animals?

I wish Steve Irwin was still alive. He wouldn't have allowed this to happen. He would capture a CROCODILE with his BARE HANDS just to move it to a place it could live peacefully. If he can show compassion for a ferocious reptile, why is it a stretch with an intelligent marsupial?

***EDIT

Okay, so I'm back. I had to talk to someone, and I decided the Australian Prime Minister was the way to go. I remember how great he was after Steve died, so I'm crossing my fingers he gets it in time, but the form sounded pretty official. You can write to the PM too! Contact the Australian PM
