Australia stops plan to kill kangaroos
|
|
Plans to kill 400 kangaroos on an abandoned military site near Canberra have been put on hold because of public opposition March 31.
A recent government report had said that the eastern gray kangaroos were destroying the native grasslands and threatening other species.
But animal rights activists — including Paul McCartney — have protested.
There are more than 60 species of kangaroos in Australia. Some of them are thriving and live in huge groups, called mobs. (AP)
