  • Why can't we hunt kangaroo in Australia? It's a great question, I believe the ethical and responsible Australia hunter should be able to hunt Kangaroo, just like we can hunt deer, scrub bull, banteng, deer, camel, wild horses, wild donkey and other large game. What are the reason's why the Australian law prohibits hunters from hunting Kangaroo?
    Why does the Australian government allow contractors to cull hundreds of thousands of kangaroo's each year, letting the carcass of the kangaroo's rot on the ground where hunters could be allowed into these same areas and harvest the meat in a ethical manner, obtaining the same result?
    In this video Chris Waters (The Australian Huntsman) opens up the issue and discusses both sides of the topic. It doesn't matter if you are pro Kangaroo hunting or a Kangaroo conservationist and activist, there is something to learn from in the video.
    Be sure to join the conversation in the chat and share your thoughts on whether or not Australian hunters should be able to hunt and harvest Kangaroos. Remember to be polite, respectful and kind.

    Great video! I use to hunt roos for personal consumption in a property in Queensland under a Qld. DPI licence which cost me $50 a year and allowed me to harvest up to 48 animals per year under a tag system, but now the Queensland government has cancelled the licensing. Only professional hunting is allowed under permit. I feel discriminated against. My family and I cannot enjoy prime kangaroo meat any more as supermarket bought roo meat is unpalatable due to its poor quality and gamy taste. I used to harvest only young males and females, no gamy taste in those. Thanks for making public this video, I appreciate it. I hope someone in our hunting organisations will watch it and start campaigning so our government as well will understand and finally change the present unjust status quo. I want to be able to harvest kangaroos again! John

    Great debate to have/start Chris.. kangaroo meat is hands down one of the most sustainable resources we have and certainly shouldn’t go to waste. It is one of the leanest meats available regardless of the cut… interestingly I seem to find that those from overseas seem to more comfortable with its consumption! Perhaps a tag system issued to Australians for personal consumption would be a consideration…. We live in an area where kangaroos are abundant and unfortunately I hit and kill a handful each year as a result. In these situations I feel I owe it to the animal to at least harvest the meat for dog food. It goes a small way to making an unavoidable situation as positive as possible… in my view cheers

      It's good use cut the roo to feed the dogs when you hit one. Most people wouldn't bother but I think you're doing the right thing.
      I love Kangaroo meat. It's one of my favourite meats to cook on the BBQ.
      A simple ticketing system would go a long way to enabling hunters to harvest healthy meat as well as put some money back into the hunting sector.

      Such a good point Wayne. I think we have a massive issue with the term "pest" in this country and thr type of behaviour it facilitates. If we were to allow the hunting of roos i would suggest they not be categorised as "pests" which wouldn't hopefully help with that issue a bit. But I agree, there are a lot of trigger happy idiots out there.

    Great video. As a first nations man I do find it strange that Kangaroo hunting is illegal. We still hunt them as part of our traditional hunting rights and do so sustainably (seasonally, based on mob numbers, totems etc). So, why couldn't the Australian government set up some kind of seasonal hunting (quota-based system)? The numbers are clearly out of balance (e.g., your point made on road kill). Such a wasted resource imo.

    Very good video.
    Its a very interesting topic.
    I've been to many properties to hunt, and have seen a lot of Roos.
    Yet, the owners say we can't shoot them, as does the law which you've stated.
    Getting permits for the Roos would be expensive as well as time consuming.
    If hunters were permitted to hunt Roos, for the resources or other.
    It would lower the numbers.
    However, there would be outcry from animal welfare agencies that would try to stop the hunting as they do now with culling.
    So, maybe one day....

    • @Thehuntsmanshow
      @Thehuntsmanshow  2 роки тому

      It's a tricky one for sure. I think there could be a good middle ground with the introduction of a kangaroo permit for hunters. Like we have in Victoria with a deer license. You buy the $60 permit and its good for a year and they could even restrict the number of roos killed via the permit through a tag system. Anything would be better then what we currently have.

    It is crazy we can’t catch, control, harvest, valuable and easily available animals. High quality protein. Excellent for farmers. In some cases the pelt can be used. The list goes on. Those who argue against it seem to believe native animals/animals go into retirement homes and live in harmony. The death by bullet or bow is often far more humane than so called ‘natural death’ Take care all. And don’t forget, fish, chicken, been, and more aren’t from supermarkets, they are from farms or the wild. Peace.

    Id argue it depends on the number and the area. Using round figures - If 5k kangaroos are “culled” at the hand of farmers protecting their stock/investment in a certain area each year, then 100% yes hunters should be allowed to harvest (hunt) those resorces within that limit. Maybe a Tagging system could be used or a way to ensure that only 5k animals are hunted to ensure its sustainable, or a way of categorising the animals by sex, size, species etc. ie. no child bearing females. No animals under certain age or sexual maturity. Or potentially size, so harvested meat/pelt is maximised for animals…. Within limits, all animals should be available for harvest (not trophy hunt). Its the food industry that has the greatest impact on the environment and animal suffering. Any way to elevate the pressure on that system to provide sustenance to 7 billion hungry mouths should be considered. Vegan plastic food aside, Every animal not harvested from nature is replaced with an animal bred to be slaughtered.

    Very well said mate. Unfortunately most people against harvesting kangaroos are city people who have lost touch with nature and the environment, they dont realize that there are many areas now where the kangaroos have no predators and then their populations become unbalanced and then they do a lot of damage to the bushland as well as farmland. They dont see the older Roos losing their teeth and slowly starving to death as well as become sick and infected with worms, in the real world the predators being the dingo and thylacine would have culled the old and sick.

    It is really a backward idea we have on hunting native animals.
    Every other country does it.
    We should have a Tag system for either roos or emu.
    More available when food is abundant like now and wind back tag issues when droughts hit. And if we had a system of bought tags like the US the money could go back to conservation.

    Too many people live disconnected from reality. The reality of the way their food is produced, the reality of what is required for meat to appear on shelves, and the reality of the ancestral way of living that got us humans to where we are today. People have outlooks on hunting that are completely based in emotion and uneducated opinion, that dont take into consideration the truly inhumane methods of meat production industrially in comparison to sourcing your own meat from the wild. All their arguments against are void in my opinion if the source of their opinion is coming from a place with zero experience in what theyre commenting on. For example anyone who has not hunted, harvested and/or witnessed the process of processing animals has no right to comment on the policies governing its practice. Hunting is much more than just killing and animal cruelty (which seems to be many of the oppositions view), it is effort and time, it is respect and harmony with nature. It is returning to the way of life that is sustainable and ethical to the highest degree. Just because you cant see the animals being slaughtered in the factories and being fed horrible unhealthy grain diets, and pumping hormones into the meats, does not mean that the same process of death is occurring for that animal. The hunter knows that the ethical kill of an animal in its natural habitat is one of the best ways that animal could have died out of all the possibilities of "natural" deaths it wouldve undergone. An ethical hunter despises animal cruelty, has massive amounts of respect and appreciation for the animals they kill and only take what is required to sustain them/their families. Anyone who says otherwise needs to stick to veganism.

      Well said Shicca. You've hit the nail on the head. It all comes down to a person's 'reality' and unfortunately it's people are becoming increasingly disconnected from reality in favour of a reality they create themselves, to suit their agendas.
      Keep being passionate and helping educate people who are misguided on this topic we need more people who can clearly articulate the issue like yourself, communicate the facts and return compassion and understanding even when others don't agree with us, lest we marginalise ourselves from the broader public and loose all hope of helping them understand.

    I disagree mate, kangaroos are native and should be left alone., thears plenty of introduced pests we should focus on havesting it’s a win win.

    • @Thehuntsmanshow
      @Thehuntsmanshow  Рік тому +1

      Hi Owen. You raised some great points. For me personally it's about harvesting meat for my family. If I can do that and at the same time help to keep an ecosystem balanced, or at least not um balance it then it's fine for an animal to be hunted and harvested. It has to be legal to do so, but that's the ethos that sits under why I hunt. Given we have to many kangaroos in this country, and that they can play a role in making agriculture difficult, I don't see why in small numbers we can't be smart about protecting our human interests and at the same time harvesting for our families. They shouldn't be our sole hunting focus (as you've said there are plenty of other species we can hunt too) but we should exclude them just because they see native. Thanks for commenting Owen :)

      It's an interesting position you have. Nothing deserves to die. But death is a natural part of our system and thinking we can avoid it and all survive is lie. Life feeds on life. Plants and vegetables don't deserve to be eaten, but if humans don't eat them we will die. Humans don't deserve to die either. Note that some vegetables willingly give up their fruit to animals to spread their seeds. We need to stay open minded about death and not place out human ethics on it, missing the reality we live in. Life and death, together.
