I see CNN has an article on various shoe etc buyers phasing out of roo products.
First of all professional shooters are not firing to wound or to waste ammo,
Usually they use 223 cartridges.
I’ve shot for professional shooters as d these shooters rarely miss their target.
Licensing requires head shots and if wounded then the professional must heart shoot.
Seems that some expert has the idea that the professional shooters like to mutilate etc.
Question: where did they get that idea?
Have they ever been observing the professional shooters in action?
Or more likely make it up to suit their preconceived idea//s.
Kangaroo skin is very thin but incredibly flexible and strong. The market is really for the meat which is extremely lean and a great protein source.
Unfortunately the big market for kangaroo meat was Russia. Don’t think I need to go further there.
How did these experts come up with the “fact” that kangaroos are being wiped out?
There are roughly 50 million kangaroos.
Australia seems to have either drought or flood and in drought Roos stop breeding and many starve to death.
But the “experts” would rather see kangaroos starve to death and be of no benefit to anyone.
One American expert woman on tv saw that we skinned a Joey to sell skin.
How stupid was that ??
In fact the Joey was hit by a car and the vet contradicted the woman.
First of all skins must be a certain size and a Joey does not meet the minimum size!
Australia has really only two states that have professional kangaroo shooting and it’s very strictly controlled.
The quotas are very strict and enforced.
It’s estimated that 4% of the roo population is harvested and kangaroos in good seasons breed up rapidly.
