Ecologists have instigated the creation of a graphic video showing the devastating effects of Australia’s burgeoning kangaroo population, including “millions” of animals starving during the drought.
SA-based Ninti Media has produced the five-minute video after being approached by Eyre Peninsula-based ecologists Katherine Moseby and John Read.
Among the footage are images of a starving kangaroo which has had its eyes pecked out by birds and a joey struggling to suckle milk from its dying mother.
The Government was working with the commercial industry and Livestock SA to develop projects highlighting alternative approaches for managing kangaroos, with a focus on increasing landholder participation in the commercial industry.
