⚠️ GRAPHIC. DON’T LIKE IT? DON’T BUY IT. ⚠️

This is the work of a commercial kangaroo shooter. Yep, this is a ‘professional’. These kangaroos were neck shot in contravention of the national Code of Practice. Their heads are removed in the field, and with a little extra effort, the neck can also be removed before going to the chiller. There is no way of ensuring kangaroos are killed humanely and we know they are often left to suffer or escape with horrific wounds. The cruelty won’t stop until the killing stops.

More wounding out of Victoria. Recent data from Wildlife Victoria has shown that call-outs for gunshot wounding victims has increased by 55% since the full commercial industry was launched in 2019.

Meanwhile the Australian Labor Australian Government is busy trying to tell the Americans that the kangaroo industry is humane 🙄

More evidence of how the kangaroo bushmeat industry is absolutely filthy. Look at the cross contamination between wild species, processed without PPE and left with cavities open to bugs and dust. It is a zoonotic disease waiting to happen.

Mark Butler MP why are we putting everyone at risk with this broad scale wildlife trade? Haven’t we learned a thing from other zoonotic diseases?

More evidence of little children being exposed to the trauma and risk of kangaroo shooting and pig do***ng. Not only do they risk physical injury, they risk exposure to parasites and disease from handling wild animals without protective equipment. Note that one child is holding a knife, is the parent letting him help with field dressing? Do they bash the joeys to death in front of their kids too?

Why is this allowed Amanda Rishworth MP?

Surprise surprise, landholder claims of massive kangaroo numbers aren’t always true. I’ve regularly heard landholders complaining about a ‘plague’ because there’s a couple of dozen kangaroos in the back paddock. That’s a small family mob for goodness sake, they eat less than one cow and improve the ecology, yet still apparently they don’t have the right to exist in peace on their own country. It is infuriating.

A tragic case from Greendale, Victoria. This mother kangaroo was seen by locals starving and suffering with a huge neck wound. Volunteer rescuers from Woodlands Wildlife Shelter found the wound was full of maggots and her joey had starved to death.

This is a consequence of cruel policies from Dan Andrews, Ingrid Stitt MP, Gayle Tierney MP and Tanya Plibersek.

This shooter proudly shows off his rack stuffed with gutted kangaroos and wild pigs jammed together and kangaroos hanging open on the side of his ute. Between the dust, insects and fluids this is a hive of cross-contamination.

After this the ute will likely drive a long distance to a field chiller (usually a retrofitted shipping container) where the bodies will hang for up to two weeks before transport to processors. Surely the European Commission cannot think this is safe and regulated?

A revolting look at an instructional ‘field dressing’ video (from an industry leader) on removing a kangaroo’s ‘bung’ and bladder in the field. Not only is this taking place among the dirt and flies, the instructor is wearing no gloves as he fiddles around with the re**um and then shoves his hand inside the open cavity. This would never be acceptable under normal meat processing conditions. It’s a dirty bushmeat industry.

⚠️ GRAPHIC. DON’T LIKE IT? DON’T BUY IT. ⚠️

More for the dossier on dirty ‘field dressing’ where wild kangaroos are dragged from where they are shot and hung up on the back of the shooter’s ute. From there the shooter (usually without gloves or protective equipment of any kind) eviscerates, beheads and dismembers them amongst the dirt, dogs, bugs and other wild species. In this batch you will see wild pigs, foxes and dingoes strung up with the kangaroos.

This filthy wildlife trade should be a big red flag for the World Health Organization (WHO) and CDC Global. Does the European Commission really think this is safe and acceptable?

Field depots (often retrofitted storage containers) are a breeding ground for disease. Note lack of gloves and protective clothing, presence of junk, grime, congealed blood, mixed species touching, corpses jammed together… they can stay like this for two weeks before processing.

Before storage they are dangled around in the open air with heat, dust and insects after being carried around on the back of a ute all night.

NB: short necks are a sign that the Kangaroo was not headshot as it is harder to decapitate lower down the neck.

DOGS CONTAMINATE KANGAROO MEAT

***DINGOS***

“A wide range of infectious agents including viruses, bacteria and protozoal and metazoan parasites occur in free-ranging Canidae and Felidae species [eg dingos, feral dogs, feral cats, foxes] in Australia. Many of the associated diseases are zoonotic, are important to agriculture and may also have an impact on biodiversity. “

https://www.wildlifehealthaustralia.com.au/Portals/0/Documents/FactSheets/Mammals/Infectious%20agents%20in%20feral%20and%20wild%20Canids%20and%20Felids%20in%20Australia.pdf

***WORKING DOGS***

“Pets can carry bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi which can be transmitted to humans, especially young children, through bites, p**p, saliva or dander.”

https://foodsafety.asn.au/dogs-and-food-safety/

Working dogs are supposed to be kept separate to avoid contaminating the “game”, but as per usual there is virtually no compliance and shooters are do whatever they please. Dogs are traipsing around the carcasses in the field and at the depots, and dead dingos are handled alongside the kangaroo bodies. It is a hive of cross-contamination! The industry is dirty, deranged and lawless, and puts us all at risk.

⚠️ GRAPHIC. DON’T LIKE IT? DON’T BUY IT. ⚠️

More cases of non-fatal wounding. All were found alive and spent days or even weeks starving and suffering with infected maggot-riddled wounds.

This is NOT humane. RSPCA Australia recently ditched kangaroo meat because of the cruelty. It CANNOT meet humane standards because an instant kill is not reliable and inevitably there will be suffering from wounding, not to mention the suffering of joeys.

Yet companies like Lyka Pet Food have the gall to call this ‘pain-free culling’. They should be publicly disgraced for the lies they tell about this industry. It’s sickening.

Again this is thanks to Dan Andrews and Victorian Labor with nothing done by Anthony Albanese and Tanya Plibersek. Shame.

Some more insights from industry insiders, meat workers in this case, on the contamination of kangaroo meat.

The kangaroo trade is cruel and unsustainable, but this bushmeat is also clearly unhygienic and dangerous. Even if people don’t give a damn about animal welfare and wildlife, why would anyone risk feeding this to beloved pets, let alone themselves?

13/09/2022

⚠️ GRAPHIC. DON’T LIKE IT? DON’T BUY IT. ⚠️

This is the sight faced by volunteer wildlife rescuers across the country for the “lucky” kangaroos that are euthanised rather than left to expire in agony.

NEWSFLASH: even if a shooter passes an accuracy test of five shots under controlled conditions (not representative of those in the field), THEY STILL MISS. They are human and they make mistakes. In an industry so massive, the number of mistakes are enormous and the suffering they leave behind is astronomical.

Anthony Albanese and Tanya Plibersek can you really abide this cruelty in the name of profit?

Imagine being shot in the face, but not fatally...⁣

Despite ongoing drought, urban expansion and habitat clearing, commercial and recreational shooting of native wildlife is still a common occurrence. ⁣

Unlike the slaughter line, there isn’t even the facade of welfare measures in place, no restraints, no stunning, no quick death, in fact, no death ensured at all. ⁣

Injured animals are often left to live with painful wounds from where infections grow and spread, slowly and painfully killing their host. ⁣

This young kangaroo had been shot in the face but survived the ordeal, only to ultimately succumb to the infected and maggot infested wound. Able to eat and drink just barely, it’s unclear how long he was living with this. ⁣

When a good Samaritan arrived to his aid to end his miserable existence, we were finally able see the full extent of the wound he endured. We cannot imagine his suffering.⁣

Just to clarify- euthanasia was arranged right away, but took a couple hours for someone to arrive as this was in a rural area. And during that wait we documented his plight. For anyone else who may find an animal injured in such a way, please do contact a local fauna rescue (contacts can be found in group Wildlife Rescue Contacts, Australia Wide) to help them even if that’s much needed euthanasia.⁣

More photos of how kangaroo killing is providing a smorgasbord of food for introduced animals. Shooters talk about how foxes follow their trucks and locals have reported foxes distributing kangaroo body parts around after a shoot, even leaving bits in the road of a tourist town!

Inexplicably Greening Australia and Bush Heritage Australia think feeding a native keystone species to marauding invasive species is just fine and dandy.

When will some authority start calling out the kangaroo industry as the dangerously unhygienic wildlife trade that it is? Have we learned nothing about zoonotic pandemics?

Daylight… kangaroos jammed in with wild pigs… many no doubt hanging there together for several hours as this commercial NSW shooter shot through the night.

This is not illegal… but is it hygienic? Is it safe? Why are we not heeding the advice of experts who say we must end wildlife trade to prevent emerging zoonotic diseases? Mark Butler MP and Bronnie Taylor MLC are you prepared for what may come from the bushmeat cross-contaminating on these mobile wet markets?

This commercial shooter was proud to shoot two kangaroos with one bullet. He films them laying wounded where they waited helplessly for him to drive over and finish them off, likely with blunt trauma. How is this possibly considered humane?

Tanya Plibersek Dom Perrottet James Griffin MP RSPCA

Australian Veterinary Association are you aware that the Kangaroo Industry Association of Australia quotes you as an animal welfare supporter of the commercial industry? https://www.kangarooindustry.com/en/about-us/supporters/. Is this warranted given that compliance with the Code of Practice is completely dependent on the individual operator and there is no one in the field to monitor and enforce compliance? Even when McLeod was studying euthanasia of joeys for the revised Code he struggled greatly to get any shooters to allow him to observe their practices - I wonder why!

⚠️ GRAPHIC. DON’T LIKE IT? DON’T BUY IT. ⚠️

There’s been a lot of sooking from shooters lately so I would like to take a moment to remember who the real victims are here. These lives that have been brutally ended and their bodies treated as some sort of trophy or sick joke. Their family structures torn apart with every shot. They are the victims, not the sad little people having a whinge because I’m exposing their behaviour.

Kangaroos have been here for millions of years. They deserve to be here. How long have the shooters been on this Country?

I’d also like to take a moment to remind shooters that if they stick their pics on social media they are fair game. Make all the threats you like, you don’t have a leg to stand on. If you did… well that would be a spectacular own goal for you. If this went to court you better believe we would milk it for all it’s worth and many more people both nationally and internationally will see your dirty little secrets. So be my guest.

Here is the respect afforded to kangaroos. They chuck this doe over the fence as bugs hover. Is there a joey in her pouch? Maybe. Was there a joey they pulled out and bashed? Maybe. Was there a dependent at-foot joey left to starve to death without mum? Maybe.

There’s virtually no independent oversight in the field so it’s an animal welfare nightmare.

Wild animals are naturally riddled with diseases and parasites. Jam them all in together in unhygienic conditions and you have zoonotic diseases waiting to happen. Kangaroos, deer, wild pigs and hares featured in this bunch. Dirt, blood, bugs and filth.

⚠️ GRAPHIC. DON’T LIKE IT? DON’T BUY IT. ⚠️

How many times have advocates been told ‘it’s ethical because there is a Code of Practice’? The Code is a farce, it means NOTHING because there is NO ONE there to enforce it. These shooters do an accuracy test in conditions not representative of those in the field and then they are off by themselves in any weather conditions trying different ammo types and just figuring it out as they go. They are human, they make errors. The fact they did a test and someone wrote a Code which they may or may not have even read does not make kangaroo shooters infallible. We know wounding happens, and it happens a lot, but we will never know the extent of it because there is not a soul out there to witness the truth.

Here are a few more additions to our dossier on wounding.

Anthony Albanese and Tanya Plibersek what will you do about the kangaroo carnage?

⚠️ GRAPHIC. DON’T LIKE IT? DON’T BUY IT. ⚠️

Let’s take a deep dive into Queensland chiller boxes. Things to note:

- Presence of dogs
- No gloves or protective equipment
- Ungloved hands inside cavities
- Short necks, indicative of neck shot
- Bodies jammed together, insufficient air circulation
- Cross-contamination with wild pigs and deer
- Filth and grime
- Presence of children (with little/no protective equipment)
- Alcohol

Does this look hygienic and well-regulated to you Annastacia Palaszczuk MP, Yvette D'Ath MP, Mark Furner MP?

Kangaroos are wild animals that naturally harbour many parasites and pathogens (including epidemic blindness and haemorrhagic disease) that are harmless to humans and livestock IF you leave them alone. The mass interference with kangaroo carcasses especially in combination with other highly disease-ridden wild species is a major health hazard. By allowing this bushmeat trade you are asking for an emergent zoonotic disease, and you will be held responsible.

This is apparently a lot of fun. In Australia, people like this are supported by the government and can turn their love of killing wildlife into a paying job. Wildlife carers and rescuers are all volunteers. Doesn’t that speak volumes about the values of our nation?
