Silent Victims of an Australian Industry: Kangaroo Joeys
“The Shot to the head out of the darkness that the industry and its
supporters promote as clean, green and humane; every night leaves behind
abandoned young at foot quietly coughing in an attempt to unite with their
mothers- but nobody hears.” (Ingrid Witte, 2005)
In the last decade alone around 35 million kangaroos and their joeys have
been killed for their meat and skins by the so-called “kangaroo industry” in
Australia. This equates to around three million joeys bashed to death,
decapitated, shot or left to die as a by product of this industry.
Kangaroo joeys are not included in the annual quota for the commercial
kangaroo industry, despite the legislation stating otherwise. Kangaroos and
their young are fully protected by law in Australia however the industry seems
immune to such legislation and the young remain unaccounted for in this cruel
business.
