If humans did not destroy habitats and mess with nature as much, it would balance itself out. We can’t take away animals land and then complain about them overtaking the area. Nature does not need human intervention. This has been proven time and again. It was seen during Covid when the world stood still and animals started to roam without human interference. All the talk of needing to cull and arguments between government groups is ridiculous and politically motivated imo.
Great reporting, @Ed Boks, keep informing people. Awareness makes it more difficult to accomplish harm.
You and your subscribers may enjoy an interview I did with Wayne Pacelle, of Animal Wellness Action, who discussed his work with their "Kangaroos are Not Shoes" campaign.
"Animal Wellness Action" - by Robin Motzer - Wildlands, February 7, 2024. I've worked with Wayne (and continue to work with him and others) to end cruelty for animals. And I am expanding my work world-wide with a trip to Norway this Summer. I have collaborative community projects in several States- all are welcome to participate. Stop by and say hi: https://robinmotzer.substack.com/p/animal-wellness-action
Keep up the great work to increase accountability, compassion and empathy!
My purse is made from an old pair of my jeans. I haven't found a pair of vegan leather shoes that are comfortable. Cute, yes, but with thin soles or so stiff my feet are painfully hobbled. So cloth athletic shoes it is. That doesn't solve the issue of kangaroo overpopulation or the absence of dingoes. I had no idea kangaroo leather was sold. What kind of monster would think that was okay?
Thanks for your thoughtful comment, Suzanne! I love your creativity in turning old jeans into a purse—that’s the kind of resourcefulness we need more of. And yes, finding truly comfortable vegan shoes can still be a challenge. As for kangaroo leather, you're not alone—most people have no idea it’s part of the global supply chain. Shedding light on that is a first step toward real change.
A similar situation, without a humane answer is going on in the US with the wild horse and mule population. Government sanctioned hunting from helicopters used to cull herds. It's a disgraceful answer to overpopulation, particularly when there are humane ways to fix the problem. All it takes is the will to force change.

Hi Kelly, I couldn't agree more. The challenge now is getting policymakers to understand that true stewardship often means restraint, not control.
