Message from Australian Society For Kangaroos

 

Please help stop the massacre of thousands of kangaroos and their joeys

 

 

Hi all

 

Please pass this on asap...

  

Can you please help save THESE kangaroos in Canberra?  The battle was lost to save the ones at Belconnen last year & they killed over 400!


Some people have asked recently what contacts would be best or what action they could take to stop the massacre of thousands of healthy kangaroos and their joeys at the Majura Defence Base in Canberra..
 

Well, if everyone and all their friends and family (supportive ones) phone up and /or fill in Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's feedback form below, this may help.

 

Those running petitions with national and overseas signatories could send this to the people on the petition and ask them to please ring or contact our PM to ask him to please stop the massacre of thousands of kangaroos and their joeys at Majura Training Base in Canberra. 

 

There is no evidence that they are starving, there is no evidence that they are damaging any habitat or threatened species, and it will inflict large scale terror and cruelty upon these gentle intelligent icons.


Here are photos of the kangaroos at the site just days ago showing healthy kangaroos and healthy habitat.

 

 

 

Killing kangaroos can never be humane in light of their close and loyal family and group bonds. The fact that ex-pouch joeys of Easter Greys are still feeding off the mums at present is also a significant cruelty issue as they will be either separated from their mums during the shooting or become orphaned when she is shot.

 

The contact details for Mr Kevin Rudd, Prime Minister of Australia, are as below, including a web contact feedback form which can be filled out directly from the link. This is one of our only hopes to save these guys and it may help especially if it comes from interstate and overseas.
 

Clog the phones!
