The number of Kangaroo is nearly twice that of Australia's population. The cause of this rapid increase is that in the last 10 years, Australia's heavy rainfall has caused plants to thrive, providing abundant food for this animal. In addition, humans are also one of the causes, excessive hunting causes some of the natural enemies of Kangaroo to become extinct, such as thylacine, a dog-like marsupial.

When the number of Kangaroo is too much, they can eat up trees, affecting the food and habitat of other birds and animals. Kangaroo also eats grass on the ground, causing areas that are being protected from severe desertification.

To address this situation, the Australian government urged people to participate in solving by eating Kangaroo meat.

But the demand for this animal is very small although their meat is more beneficial (less fat and more methane) than beef or other traditional cattle. So many Australian states have introduced rules and targets for Kangaroo humanitarian slaughter.

Only a few travelers are curious to taste Kangaroo's meat so it is difficult to kill meat enough to meet the criteria given.

The killing of Kangaroo meat is more humane than letting the number of these species increase rapidly out of control. Because according to ecologists, millions of children may die in the next drought. In the mid-2000s, major droughts occurred that caused the number of Kangaroo to drop to only 7 million.

Historically, Australia has experienced the number of individuals of an animal beyond control, causing negative impacts on the environment of this country such as sugarcane toad - a North American amphibian that has been poisoning for years. 1930, wild cats, another animal returned by Australians.
