Australian farmers want to kill kangaroos

In addition to the worries of drought, flooding affecting crops, Australian farmers also bear another worry - it's kangaroo.

The "unfortunate achievements" of destroying this rat's property have caused farmers' families to lose tens of thousands of AUD each year and their biggest dream is to "kill at the root" of this harmful animal.

The national symbol of Australia continues to be considered a "thorn" in many farmers' eyes because their numbers are growing and of course, this is "inversely proportional" to the harvest of harvested crops. year of their family.

"Aging" Stephen Tull, living in a small village in Queensland, said he once witnessed as many as 2,500 kangaroos are "slaughtering" the family's barley fields. He said that every year they broke his fortune worth up to 30,000 AUD.

Many farmers' families said that the best way to protect crops is to eliminate the current number of kangaroos.

Earlier, right in Canberra, the city government planned to shoot more than 3,000 suburban kangaroos, because they were growing very fast, eating all the grass - which is the habitat of many other animals.

Australia's Ministry of Defense wants to hire professional hunters to do this. Currently on the outskirts of the capital, the density of kangaroo reaches 1,100 heads / square kilometer - a record level in this region so far.

Each year millions of kangaroos are destroyed in rural Australia, but plans to handle 3,000 around the capital of Canbrra have met with strong opposition.

Some politicians criticize that this decision will make the government's image "brutal".

Australia's Defense Department commented that those kangaroos are not short of food, but are undermining the habitat of many organisms living in grasslands and threatening biodiversity.

Scientists are currently trying to experiment with oral contraceptives for kangaroos.
