Hmm wonder what impact the whale population have on the annual plankton harvest...
Australians do not eat Bilby's - a cuter smaller version of a Kangaroo (kind of - we have weird creatures here) - it is a protected species so we are not allowed to. They also don't eat the Koala - also protected. Seeing a theme?
Interestingly some NZers were suggesting the commercial farming of the Kiwi as it's numbers were dwindling and by farming it you could create a sustainable population...
Hehe anyone who leaves urban areas of Australia will immediately know that the kangaroo certainly does not need protection. Although I do remember being on a property when I was about 12 roo hunting and being shocked at how inhumanely some of the guys killed the joey's one guy grabbed it by the legs and swung it head first into the tray of the ute until it was dead.
