Default Is it immoral to eat kangaroo meat?

Is it immoral to eat kangaroo meat? Surely it must be wrong to eat Kangaroo meat. Kangaroos have highly developed emotions and strong family links. Breaking of these strong bonds in the relationships between kangaroos is likely to cause immensly high levels of distress to the kangaroo community?

Let me know what you think?

Kangaroo Meat isn't as readily available for humans as many people think. It is in aussie themed restaurants along with emu but eating my national emblem doesn't get my saliva glands going.

My cat Betty has 'roo' meat every night for dinner.. it is sold mostly for pet food here.

Immoral...............nah......bit tough though !!

bon apetit!

So Blim, are you thinking it might taste a tad stringy? (due to the distress). Perhaps you could try offering it a lollypop to come to the back of the abertoir with you.
Welshboy... stop worrying about them darn sheep!

i think that you will find that most animals are disressed when they are being killed (years of experience in my youth working in a chicken factory)

Pigs are social animals too...

I'll eat anything, but i have to admit that the way some animals are treated (chickens in particular) are pretty bad.

Humans are natural meat eaters, we are all designed to be omniverous.

As for roos....

Roos used for meat (either for humans or petfood, or any other use) are i beleive farmed, so the effect on the roo community would be small.

Had roo burgers when i was out there....they were ok, similar to any other burger. Can't beat a nice bit of good quality steak in my opinion. Ostritch is nice too.

PeteY,
you are a man after my own heart (or aftre my Roo.)

I've had a roo steak in North Wales of all places and it tasted ok to me!
I'm sure I've seen it in one of the big supermarkets in the UK just after I had it. I'll have a look tomorrow and let you all know.
(The wife just gave me ever such a bad look as I told her I'd eaten sme roo.:scared

Bye all

basically i think it's clearcut. Scientific research shows that <")))>< do not feel pain. Kangaroos are different you might think this is a laughimg matter but whole kanagoroo comunitees may suffer for generations to come over just one kanagoroo being caught and eaten.

How do we know how emotional they get? You can tell by looking in their eyes. I consider kangaroos are getting sadder each year. I don't know how much more they can take.

We must take action
