Eating kangaroos can save the world

Eating kangaroos can save the world from global warming!: "The scientific journal Conservation Letters says that the Australian icon produces far less methane than sheep and cattle. Methane is one of the worst causes of greenhouse gas and in Australia alone sheep and cattle produce 11 per cent of the nation's total emissions."

Well, kangaroos can drive our farmers crazy because they can be so destructive. I'd love to see them being farmed! They can also make an incredible mess of your car if you hit one as they hop across the highways. Kangaroos live in this land, they belong to this land but I think we are the only nation which eats its national symbol. We love kangaroos. We were helping them in the drought...but they have a bit of an odd place here at times. The truth is , methane reduction is important, but I'd hate to see kangaroos penned up and if we framed them in commercial quantities it would have to be extremely well thought out. I think it ought to be , anyway. I know we engage in some pretty cruel mass farming practices and we don't seem to be too concerned at times. Bit of thought goes a long way. The health benefits of kangaroo meat are considerable and it would help our need to provide ourselves with better nutrition without sacrificing taste because it tastes nice!
