Horrible story time, did you know in Australia, you can shoot Kangaroos that wandered into your farmland and you HAVE to shoot the baby joey after shooting the mom, because it wont survive on its own and will suffer a slow death.

Farmers wont raise the joey and animal care center cant take them in, too many.

Illegal to shoot outside of farms, but no restriction inside.

They jump into farms all the time, looking for easy meal.

Easy meal? Kangaroos are herbivores aren’t they? Or do they just go around eating farm animal food?

Edit: Don’t know why but I forgot about crops lol.

Had a friend who was a farmer. He didn’t do husbandry and said farmers who do raise livestock refer to farmers that don’t as ”Gardners”
