Australia-No Kangaroo meat in Victoria.

NO KANGAROOS FOR MEAT.

The State Government of Victoria has rejected an application by Tesbury Meats, to use kangaroo meat for pet food, from the annual kangaroo culls.

The government claim that this would constitute commercial harvesting of the meat, contrary to the state laws in relation to the culls.

Every year millions of kangaroos are culled, the skins can be cured for leather and rugs, however the meat cannot be used except for the farmers consumption and own use.

Animal rights activists have been against the culling for many years, however farmers see the kangaroos as a pest, breaking down fences and eating valuable pasture
