Stop the Kangaroo Cull!
Target:
Australian Defence Minister Joel Fitzgibbon
Sponsored by:
Australia's military has just begun killing kangaroos at the Belconnen Naval Transmission Station, a decommissioned military base, to protect the land on the baser from overgrazing. The Australian government refused to relocate the animals, claiming the cost was too high, even though activists estimate the 600 kangaroos at the base could be relocated for much less.
The military plans to kill 400 kangaroos in the coming days - at least 70 kangaroos have already been rounded up and killed, including mothers and their joeys. Sign this petition to tell Australia's government to immediately halt this kangaroo cull. Your signature will be delivered via email to Defence Minister Joel Fitzgibbon. Learn more and watch video.

Dear Defence Minister Fitzgibbon:
I am deeply disturbed by the Australian military's senseless killing of kangaroos at Belconnen Naval Transmission Station. I urge you to immediately halt this kangaroo cull and lift the ban on export of these kangaroos so that wildlife rescue organizations can translocate the kangaroos to a suitable environment off of the base.

Money, money, money.... I hope those responsible will choke on it. What I don't understand nowadays, is that these kind of things are still happening when all are aware of how precious nature is, and that animals are clever beings that need their own space too. When will there be an authority above governments that will punish, stop these behaviours and have the power to protect nature whether or not governments agree ?

Please stop! Don't you people have a heart? What about we kill something you love? All animals should be loved. How can someone be so heartless. I bet you people go to church on Sunday?

It saddened me to read about this and I hope your government will reconsider, especially when there is a group willing to help relocate these beautiful animals. Thank you for your consideration

There are smarter ways to manage wildlife that will be cheaper in the long run.

Please dont continue this. Its not necessary when there are groups that have suggestions that could prevent this. Our animal world is disappearing at an alarming rate because of the choices that men make and its so not supposed to be like this. Live and let live!!
