Kangaroos are revered in Australia. The lovable hopper appears with an emu on the country’s Commonwealth Coat of Arms, a 1912-era seal that identifies the authority of the government and its courts, and appears on Australian passports, government buildings and some 50-cent coins. Now, kangaroos are a problem in Australia -- populations have gone from 27 million in 2010 to 45 million in 2016, and ecologists are concerned. To help cull their numbers, they suggest Australians develop a taste for kangaroo, rather than let the meat go to waste.
Imagine eating bald eagles:

@dimchild: I love wiseGeek and read them all, and forward many of them to friends, but I have never commented on them, as I see no reason to do so. Maybe most other readers, who similarly refrain from commenting, feel the same way I do. |

I'm one of the people who read WiseGeek daily and look forward to it. I've commented only once recently. I found the greatest number of comments were when the subject was tinnitus. |

@merlinus. Thanks for the information. WiseGeek has many useful information, but I wonder how many people read it. People rarely comment on the articles published here. Why? |

Indigenous Australians have been eating kangaroo for 60,000 years. Modern Australians have also been eating kangaroo for many years. Supermarkets stock kangaroo steaks and sausages in the same display cases as other red meat such as beef. It's delicious as long as it's not overcooked. Kangaroo meat is also a major ingredient in Australian pet food. |
