Life on land
After a truly terrible series of fires over the last three months, impacting some of Victoria’s most biodiverse places, killing many thousands of native Australian animals, accompanied by the Victorian Government’s immediate refusal to moderate its wildlife killing campaigns, including for recreation, commercial exploitation and ‘harms reduction’ following these terrible events, it is timely to revisit the status of the ‘Kangaroo’ family, Macropodidae, in Victoria. When it comes to mammals, Kangaroos and Wallabies head the list when it comes to the Victorian Government’s killing spree.
We should remember these two things:
Nothing has moderated the killing and in just a few days it will be the turn of Australia’s birdlife as the mass shooting of waterbirds begins.
“This week, U.S. Representatives Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Penn. and Jan Schakowsky, D-Ill.—two major champions of animal welfare in Congress—introduced the Kangaroo Protection Act, H.R. 1992, to end the sickening domestic trade and import of Kangaroo parts to the United States, mainly for use in the “uppers” in soccer cleats”. Wayne Pacelle, Center for a Humane Economy, 14 March 2025
Status of Kangaroo, Wallaby, Potoroo and Bettong species and their relatives in Victoria following the catastrophic bushfires in Victoria is 2020 and 2025. Even the fires and climate change have not stopped the ever growing number of animals being killed.
