[quote=APAULT,258767]There is an oversupply of kangaroos in Australia.  very simply, they have never had it so good - farmers plant food for them (all sorts of crops) and leave out water in case they get thirsty.  They are thriving.  Roo meat is delicious but difficult to get.  It is difficult to get because so few people will buy it.  My only complaint is that it has no fat and is thus very dry.  I like to cook it with some fatty pork though even that can be hard to get hold of in our health conscious society.

Although farming roos instead of sheep and cattle would be good for the environment because they do not damage the land like the pointy toes of sheep and the heavy hooves of cattle, they are not easy to farm.  They need to roam and move mauch fatsre than sheep and cattle.  So at the moment they can only be caught wild. This is not efficient, requires refrigerated trucks to be driven across rough terrain to collect them and is not popular with animal rights people who don't like animals being chased and shot (ahhh!).

I wonder if the scientists can develop a short legged roo, with wool too.  Then we might have a chance!!![/quote]
