Australia: Stop Killing off the Kangaroos!

The federal government has killed nearly 14,000 kangaroos on a military firing range east of Canberra in the past four years. 

Operating under a "licence to kill" issued by the ACT government, the Defence Department has hired shooters to destroy the animals grazing the grasslands of the Majura Training Area, in the east of the ACT.

This barbaic and unnecessary practice needs to come to an immediate stop. There is no reason to kill off the Kangaroo population of Australia. 

Humans need to learn to share our resources with the animals who live here. We do not own this land just because we are at the top of the food chain. Kangaroos have a right to live out a peaceful existence without fear of being shot by a sharp shooter. 

Sign here to let Australia know this practice needs to stop!
