The Clampetts jist happen to be viry close friends'o mine.

Don't knock aroma of skunk in the fryer till ya tried it.

I was given a recipe for galah years ago.

Put the galah, a large rock & a 4 by 2 of pine timber in a large pot. Add water & boil for some hours. When a large fork will penetrate the rock, chuck out the galah & the rock, & eat the nicely tenderised bit of pine, which will be nicely infused with the delicate flavor of boiled feathers.

Back in my youth we had an old neighbor who used to grow a few acres of wheat each year in the old way. He plowed & planted with a horse drawn implement, harvested with a horse drawn mower, then thrashed the wheat after drying with a steam powered thrashing machine. We kids loved watching, it was like having a living museum on our door step.

The drying wheat & the large spillage from the thrashing attracted hundreds or perhaps thousands of galahs which he used to shoot. He had little choice, the galahs would take the lot if left alone. Hating waste, he used to bury the galahs in rows across the paddock, reckoning they took his wheat, but he got it back as ferteliser.

Meanwhile I'll miss the garlic & herb added thanks. I've never been able to understand why people add bits of roots & leaves of weeds to their food for flavoring. I'll take mine natural thanks, or not at all.

How can anyone see similarities with cats or dogs with kangaroo.
There is no kangaroo where i am but we are overrun with wallaby.
There is no foxes because they are targeted with gusto. and worth $15 / tail.
The fox destruction is to protect the few native guinea fowl left in Victoria.
So someone has to the control the Wallaby population or else i will get eaten out, and that is not good for food production for human beens

I'm sure others have heard that kangaroos are better for the environment than sheep because they don't eat the grass to the ground- at certain times kangaroos have become a plague. Anyway there are too many people in the world and probably in Australia too if they need to create a law to stop eating kangaroo. Kangaroo stew is great- all game meat takes some getting used to.

Canem Malum,

If you want to keep kangaroo numbers down just introduce an invasive species into the bush: the Chinese.

They'll eat anything that moves, from bats to cockroaches to kangaroos.

They introduced large numbers Chinese into Sydney and now there is hardly a Bogan Australia (aka Australian Australian) in sight. I'm not saying the Chinese ate them but I reckon they definitely scared them away.
