Proposed ACT Kangaroo Cull

[markB]

The issue of the culling of kangaroos in the ACT has attracted a lot of national and international interest.

Wildcare - www.wildcare.com.au - has set up a website specifically for the roos which explains the ACT Government's actions. It also contains an online petition. Please sign the petition and forward on to as many people as
possible. Go to www.canberraroos.com

Please also contact the following people and let them know that
killing these healthy kangaroos IS NOT AN OPTION in a humane society.

Please let them know that:

* Killing these kangaroos is short sighted and is not a long term solution

* Killing healthy kangaroos is not acceptable in a humane society

* The ACT Government is being bloody minded by blocking all attempts at non lethal control

* Wildcare has the experience to relocate the kangaroos and a network of people willing to accept the kangaroos onto private land holdings

* The Belconnen site would make an excellent tourist destination for our visitors to see kangaroos in suburbia
