Victorian kangaroo advocates, including the Australian Wildlife Shelters Coalition and the Australian Wildlife Protection Council, are currently preparing a comprehensive, evidence-based report on the treatment of kangaroos in Victoria. This research challenges the pest control narrative used to justify commercial kangaroo operations and the chronic mismanagement of kangaroo populations. Victoria’s kangaroos are under increasing threat and this research aims to shift from the current model of control and exploitation of kangaroos to one of coexistence.
