Target: John Bradley, Secretary of Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action
Goal: Do not authorize more kangaroo culls for harvesting.
Kangaroos are a staple of the Australian landscape, and in the past year they’ve taken a major hit due to flooding in various regions. Now one of these hard-hit regions wants to take even more from the beloved animals and the resulting hundreds of thousands of deaths will be entirely legal.
The state of Victoria in Australia has been operating a grey kangaroo so-called harvesting program. This initiative should be called a cull, however, because it permits killing a set number of kangaroos for both meat and because of the animals’ intrusion onto owned land. A limit is set at the beginning of each year, with numbers of permitted killings rising by almost one-third this year as compared to last year. Now, over 160,000 kangaroos may be culled for their meat, while 69,000-plus may be killed by landowners for the apparently unforgiveable crime of roaming their territories.
Worse yet, a government agency supposedly devoted to environmental conservation is authorizing this cull. Sign the petition below to prevent these leaders from doing more damage to an Australian icon.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Secretary Bradley,
Animal Justice MP George Purcell noted that “we don’t know how many kangaroos have been lost in unprecedented flooding across Victoria.” He then urged you to reconsider your commitment to the marked increase in kangaroo harvesting targets within Victoria. Please take his very relevant concerns, along with the protests of countless advocates across the country, under serious advisement.
This agency’s mission includes preservation of native landscapes and promotion of biodiversity. The grey kangaroo is an integral and almost inseparable part of the Australian landscape. These animals deserve protection, not prescheduled execution.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Again we see the long arm of Nike and Adidas’s. They are very aware of their crime yet feed everyone a bunch of BS and feel we are stupid enough to believe them. They have lied too often and year after year commit and same crimes. Killing millions of kangaroos so they can sell their sport shoes.
\Their mother’s must be so proud!
Oh yikes, didn’t realize that, how SICK!!!
STOP KILLING THESE PRFECIOUS KANGAROOS!!!!!!~!!!!
Amen. Are they really doing this horrible stuff.
It must be stopped
This is an EXTREME ENVIRONMENTAL CRIME that must be BANNED! Kangaroos live in Australia, but are the BELOVED ANIMALS of the WHOLE WORLD.
Australia, your duty is to take a loving care of these animals, instead of killing them for GREED!
We have to protect them
Criminals!!!!
What is wrong with these people? We skin animals to extinction for the greed of money. Soon we will have to skin humans because no animals will be left.
TOTALLY AGREE BUT WHAT WE NEED TO BE DOING IS KILLING AND SKINING THE LESS THAN HUMAN BEINGS SICK PHYCOPATHS WHO ARE DOING THIS!!!
Humans yet again, the transparent cloaks, we, the humans with a conscience can see through. Totally abusive acts by greedy murderers.
Why is it mans first response is to kill, exterminate, violate and destroy? We are all citizens of this planet, humans and animals alike. We are here to protect, not take.
Kangaroos should be protected.
This is not the kind of thing a civilised country would do.I dont understand what the hell is happening.
Disgusting, perfidious and absolutely immoral killing of animals whose only crime is to want to live. Cruel and barbaric is the lot of humanity.
It is of no surprise that a Government is pushing for or investing in the murder of animal life. It is offensive and cruel to those who admire, love, and appreciate living beings that live among us. We can ask for this to stop or sign a Petition but we also know that it is like asking Satan to have a Heart.
Disgusting Australia!
What don’t you cull every kangaroo until there are none roaming your land. THEN YOU SICKOS CAN GO AHEAD AND CULL EACH OTHER!
Your greed has NO END and one day it will GET YOU!
Some say kangaroos are being slaughtered in unsustainable numbers, and others say that there are too many kangaroos to allow the landscape to survive them. I wonder how the land could have given rise to unsustainable numbers, given that it is the natural landscape of this species, whoch it is in balance with! If the numbers of kangaroos are so great, then it is probably because the dingo/’wild dog’ has been killed off/too much, and it needs to be reintroduced or allowed to be there in greater numbers, to naturally select against the less fit kangaroos, thus keeping the kangaroo population both healthy and in natural numbers!
Amy scumbag who is involved in killing kangaroos most definitely requires extermination. A slow and agonizing death for these evil animal murdering cretins is essential.
Stop the senseless killing of kangaroos WHO FULLY DESERVE AND HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE HERE AS ALL SPECIES DO!! Kangaroos are a vital part of Australia’s ecosystem and tourism industry/economy. Millions of visitors travel to Australia just to see these magnificent marsupials. Do the world a favor and kill your violent criminals instead. Enact and enforce a limit on the number of humans being born. HUMANS ARE THE MOST DESTRUCTIVE, SELFISH, MURDEROUS, POLLUTING SPECIES ON THIS PLANET.
The Canadians kill the harpseals, the Japanese and another island slaughter dolphins. The zuSA kill so much wildlife and they keep this info away from citizens, but are clearing off all our beautiful horses and penning them although they too are sent to slaughter in Canada and Mexico
The human race is the evil beings on this earth they kill the kangeroos by the 100,000
