To replace the amount of beef eaten in Australia, hundreds of times the entire kangaroo population would need to be killed each year. Obviously impossible. This is because kangaroos have a very little "meat" on them. They breed and grow very slowly. They can not be farmed. They are very labour intensive to shoot, gut, house in temporary cool rooms, transport to an abattoir, butcher and package. All for a few kilograms of human grade meat. No, the only diet for an environmentalist is one based solely on plants. In response to Matthew C, the idea that eating kangaroo meat is somehow environmentally sound is completely false.

For those who do not wish to obstain from meat all togther there are other options. Reduce red meat consumption and the red meat that is consumed substitute Kangaroo for beef. Kangaroo is low in fat, high in ron and protein, does not require de-foresting of our habitats and is drought proof. Hi,

The evidence is now conclusive that the meat and dairy industries are having a massive negative impact on the earth's environment. It is just a fact and if you want to do something about climate change, going veg is one of the easiest and effective ways. For lots of evidence go to www.vegansocietynsw.com and click on "Environment". Thanks for bringing this to environmentalist’s attention.
