it comes as no surprise
when women are denied a legislature
and kept under perpetual male supervision
that animal cruelty is proposed
as land management.
the torture of innocent animals and their offspring
behind high fences in close confinement
to selectively breed the survivors
sounds like something
John Howard did with asylum seekers.

You a vegan Whistler?.

Whistler,
Who's talking about battery roos not me. I was talking about life cycles, selective breeding, veterinarian care, Keeping more numbers per hectare that is animal husbandry. Under standing how they will behave as stock etc. Oh yes I touched on market influences and environment.
Where's the cruelty in that.

Unless as St G asked you're and extremist vegan as well as irrational feminist. Start your own topic and we can discuss your legislature.
Until you do I'll not respond to your axe grinding.

Foxy,
I've read reasonably at length on roos etc for my environmental work but also because when a topic raises a question I do a lot of reading.
Albeit 4-5 years ago.
Sadly there wasn't that much out there on farming roos specifically.
There's a bit about the wild, some on in zoo type environment but not a lot about the actual animal husbandry of keeping them as stock.

As I understand it roo meat needs to capture a larger slice of the market to make a difference to the environment, health (cholesterol issues)and to be economically large enough to warrant farming.

No I'm not that old but my poor addled brain cell seems to be forgetting details better these days. Besides eAnt is trying to kill me....he's got me paving and digging drains etc.(cos of the recent Very heavy rains.)

Dear examinator,

I can see that I'll have to do a bit more reading
on the topic as well.

I understand the work that eAnt has you doing.
My older brother lives in Byron Bay - and they
too have all sorts of problems because of the
rain.

As far as your brain cells are concerned - don't
fret - you're doing fine. (As long as you keep
using them).

*Like wheat etc that actually costs more per tonne than it yields. (that is if you factor in all bounties etc).*

Err what bounties? Farming has to be a business, or farmers
are out of business and can close down. Australian wheat
farmers are some of the most efficient in the world, working
large acres, huge machinery and with slim margins. The bloke
down the road sows 21'000 acres, so its all about economies
of scale these days.

Farming kangaroos makes no economic sense, so people don't
do it. The skippy factor means that marketing opportunities
are limited, as the price of roo meat shows. Consumers make
the ultimate decicion here, not farmers.

Cloven hooved animals are only an issue if they are overstocked.
Lower your stocking rate and your problem goes away

I've just come across this website that may
