Truth - but to be fair, this Aussie is also very fond of American wildlife … even those rascally raccoons that get into our trash ….


In Australia - one domestic cat kills on average about 186 mammals, birds, reptiles and frogs a year, compared to the 748 that one feral cat can kill. However, because domestic cats are concentrated in suburbs, the total number of animals they kill per hectare is higher than the number that feral cats in the bush kill.


That said - I love cats and don’t like this war on Aussie cats - I wish they would just neuter them and put bells on them to give birds fair warning


Bells don't work--cats learn to walk without jingling them

Platypi are monotreme mammals so in a different league to jumpy marsupials ….


Would it be safe to say that the platypi are assassin-like on the criminal behavior continuum while roos are like roughs you would hire to beat someone up?


Actually I think it’s probably safest to say people and dogs should leave wildlife alone. In a court of law, I think the kangaroo has a solid defence.


You don't even know the facts of the case and have decided in favor of the kangaroo.

Kangaroo apologist.


It's a kangaroo court. What did you expect?

This is too upsetting I had to stop reading it.

I will continue to live in fantasy land.



I wish I had stopped while afraid. So disturbing!

Fair I suppose … I’m not really up on my hit men/animals analogies … Kanga apologists tend to be peace loving types …

It was so freaking creepy. Their legs go the wrong way. They just sit and stare at you. I've never looked at kangaroos the same way again.




I’ve done this at a zoo before. Won’t be doing it again. No thank you!

Today I read an article that showed this dead-eyed kangaroo, standing over a dog he was drowning for fun, looking like a psychopathic, roided-out mutant rabbit. No one is talking about this. On the contrary, we tell our kids that kangaroos are adorable and have cute baby pouches. What's with the kangaroo lobby selling us cute cartoons while our allies down under live in terror of these beasts? I can't be the only American to have undergone this slow and shocking realization that everything I'd been told about kangaroos is a lie.

This video is disturbing. Especially reading the part where it said that kangaroos are known for luring victims to water and drowning them. Ummm😳

Aussies are oddly fond of their wildlife. On the other hand, they aim to kill up to 5 million cats over the next 5 years.
