Kangaroos. Photography: Ray Drew.
reflections
Those privileged to see kangaroos in the wild, playing, interacting and just being, will appreciate the beauty and nobility of these animals, and wonder why anyone could find satisfaction in harming them. Joeys, just like those you see below, are killed in their millions in Australia under the euphemism of 'harvesting'. The government approved method of dispatch is to bash them to death against a hard object.
