Currently 50% of all kangaroos killed across Australia for pet food and human consumption are females. The joey in the pouch is bashed to death and the young at foot left to die of starvation or predation.
A full time professional shooter phoned me the other day to say he has been shooting 70% females and can't find enough kangaroos to make a living. He's looking for another job to support his family.
Minke whales are not endangered. Their numbers have built up after the blue, sei and fin whales were decimated by the Russian and Japanese whalers.
Killing kangaroos and killing whales is unacceptably cruel.
Both Japan and Australia are wrong.
Australia is hypocritical in attacking Japan and Japan is hypocritical in attacking Australia.
It's time to stop the slaughter.

Yes it's illegal to import whale meat into Australia
No I don't eat pig and haven't for over twenty years when I discovered
how intelligent and sensitive they are - more than many humans.
In the South Pacific they used to call humans "long pig" because they tasted just like pig.
Do you eat human?

That's an odd question.

So your opposition to the consumption of roos and whales is part of a broader opposition to the consumption of many animals including pigs? Are there any animals you do eat or don't mind others eating?

I believe it is not appropriate to eat animals that are endangered (many species of wild fish).
It is not appropriate to eat animals that have been raised cruelly ( battery hens, battery pigs, feedlot cattle for example).
It is not appropriate to eat animals that have been killed in a cruel way (kangaroos and their young).
It is not appropriate to eat animals that have caused the environment to be degraded or poisoned (Vietnamese prawns, farmed fish, cattle and sheep)
Culturally many people object to the eating of horses, cats, dogs, camels, cows (Hindus),pigs (Jews, Muslims,Hindus), whales (except some Japanese), kangaroos (wildlife lovers, Aborigines whose totem is the kangaroo).
From an environmental, humane, personal health and ethical perspective it is better not to eat any meat at all. Many are now choosing that.
