BBC UK: Eat kangaroo to 'save the planet' -

³Kangaroos could be good for the environment² is the caption over a photo of

a baby roo pouched with mama. The article goes on to explain that by eating

kangaroo burgers instead of beefy or sheepy ones Aussies could reduce

Australia¹s carbon footprint by 11%.

Has the world gone mad? Do we really want to blame the world¹s pollution

problems on animal farts? Apparently the BBC has no problem with that. And

the head of Australia¹s Wildlife Services is urging Australians to farm

kangaroo for eating, as they pass much less gas then cows, sheep, and the

BBC.

Why should Asians for Animals be concerned? Australia has flooded the food

market in many Asian countries, and here in my own, you can find a

Australian Lamb chop dinner at any of the Nepali 5-star hotels for less then

15 Euros. Or go to any local cold store, and you will find tins of

Australian powdered milk selling for a day¹s wages. I suspect unless

kangaroos are saved from the slaughterhouses, we will see frozen roo patties

in the market soon.

I urge all to write the BBC and admonish their insensitive and stupid

reporting like I have. And the address for the head of Australian Wildlife

Services & Animal Fart Control is:

Dr George Wilson
