please help us save the Kangaroos here!!!


Hi all, i thought id let you all know that there is an issue going on here where the Government have trapped 500 Roos and want to cull them en masse.
Now Paul McCartney has lent a hand here too to try and stop this.
Wildcare organisation has offered to tranquilise and relocate them to a huge property in adjoining NSW and that was going ahead until the Govt changed their mind for no good reason.
So there is a massive petition being held which is very quick, you can even be anonymous and you can "let em have it" in a message too.
Heres the link to info:http://www.canberraroos.com/

PETITION link here: http://www.gopetition.com.au/online/17501.html

I hope you can help!! even to just have a look at whats going on there.
Thanks
Helen

Aussie Girl, that is just awful! I never heard of that before! I signed it, and I think anyone who reads that will. What a sad, sad story! I just don't see the sense in that at all! THANK YOU for bringing it to our attention!

Oh, good luck on this, really, i always wanted to come and see the kangaroos, and to hear they are looked upon as something of a rodent breaks my heart! Post this on every animal loving site there is! Is there a certain number of signatures you need to stop this?

Thankyou, i really dont know how many signatures they need but if everyone signed, it would surely make them stop and think and realise their stupidity!!!
pass this link on if you can think of any other forums which you are members of. Om sure it will help. Gosh its only 500 and wildcare have offered transport so whats their problem???

Roos


I have been to Sydney and the outback and they are adorable animals. Not the type that should be culled.
