They say kangaroos are eating the food of their sheep and cattle.

Let’s get real.

It’s the sheep and cattle who are eating the food of kangaroos and every other native species.

These animals are not native and were never meant to be here.

They were brought in, bred in the millions, and now dominate the Australian landscape.

Native grasslands, shrubs, and forests have been cleared, fenced, grazed, and trampled — not for kangaroos, but for the livestock industry.

Water sources have been diverted. Soil has been compacted. Habitat destroyed.

Kangaroos are pushed out, then blamed for “competing” for food that was once theirs.

This isn’t about kangaroos stealing food.
It’s about a powerful industry that stole the land — and keeps stealing the lives of animals who belong here.

Sorry ive been absent with posts on here lately...ive turned off the phone to end the month on 80 wildlife cases for the month of may...some where in there i actually worked on a paying job...finished with 4 deer, 1 fox, 2 wallabies, 1 wombat, 4 cockatoos and 68 kangaroo cases...sadly only 2 saves...really sad month...fingers crossed that June is quieter...😳😪

I try not to post too many Recues on here...i do too many for a start, but for eduction purposes this one needs to be shown...

I got a call from a carer this afternoon who attended a kangaroo in Emerald...it was a large male that had barbed wire around his leg which had cut in deep and nasty infection had set in.

I headed out as soon as I could and upon seeing him from a short distance not to spook him I could see he was also very emaciated...sadly there was no option but end his pain...which I did immediately.

The reason I am posting this story is that this boy had sometime in the last few weeks or month he had been caught in a fence, a barbed wire one...these fences are the worst...but the real problem is that someone had cut him out and he would have hopped away with this injury and the wire still around his leg...this happens way too often, animals don't understand fences.

Please DON'T cut the fence wire...I know it is traumatic to see but any animal caught like this need to be assessed by a rescuer...call a rescuer or organisation like Wildlife Victoria 03 8400 7300 for immediate help...there is usually a rescuer nearby in most areas...

had a sad rescue today...a small joey was caught in a barbed wire fence in the park...he was still very much alive but looks like a dog(most likely) but perhaps a fox had chewed 1/2 its tail off 😪
