Activists to bombard site of Canberra kangaroo cull

20/05/2008 7:00:00 AM.  | 

Activists are planning action at the site of a kangaroo cull today and tomorrow, after it began at a defence site in Canberra yesterday.

Pat O’Brien, the leader of a protest group which has been picketing the site, on the former naval site in suburban Belconnen says his fellow activists have some actions planned for the site today and tomorrow.

Dozens of kangaroos were herded into pens, before disappearing behind hessian screens where they're believed to have been euthanased.

The stop-start cull of about 400 eastern grey kangaroos has attracted international media attention.

The Defence Department says it's necessary to protect native grasslands and threatened species, and avoid starvation among the kangaroos.

LIVENEWS.com.au has cameras at the scene and will bring you video later in the day.

They are not being inhumanely destroyed - in comparison to the aged and disabled - check the nursing homes - that's where you will see the horror stories!

Kangaroo culling, unfortunately, is a business out in western NSW, that is where the kangaroo meat in the supermarkets and the pet food comes from. Apparently it is out of range of the the activists and other bludgers, pity they didn't have to go to work.
