Well what did you expect from a tall black Muslim hunter?

The taste is subjective I guess, and Roo is easy to stuff up. Personally I think it is pretty good.

I think its pyschological for me. I used to think it tasted pretty good when I was a kid, but since then I've shot a lot of roos, and now I associate the smell of roo meat with dog food. I can't stand the bloody stuff now. I agree that it is much better if its cooked properly (ie hardly cooked at all). Overcooked roo meat tastes like tanned anus.

As for the farming- you are right that it does present difficulties. I am sure a way could be found though. The parasites are not too much of an issue I think- most of the parasites in Australian land animals tend to be less of a health issue to humans then many species of fish.

I'm sure the worms are harmless to eat. They might even be good for you, but they wouldn't do much for the market value. Anyway, that's the kind of thing that could probably be overcome with chemical treatment.

I guess I just view the decreased environmental damage and decreased water useage as too good to ignore. I feel like the farming of a native animal would have to be better then the farming of introduced live stock- although there may be questions of practicality as you point out.

In the meantime the controlled harvesting in overpopulated areas seems to be working well enough to supply current demands and keep the price low.

Yep, I'm sure it could be done, but it will take a very patient and enterprising person to figure out how.

Bloody oath! The bastards were howling and grunting outside my bedroom window the other night. I was tempted to go out there, climb the tree and eat him then and there.

I heard that eating them does wonders for a sore throat.

Even when I ate meat I found it odd that someone could enjoy killing an animal for fun. I admit my own hypocrisy at the time as I did eat meat. I chose to be willfully ignorant to what happened to the animals that ended up on my plate as many continue to do. But to go out and kill for kicks....it's just beyond me. Heard of golf, football, baseball, hockey....even a shooting range? These seem like some pretty decent alternative "sports" and nothing has to die. Even if the hunter eats the meat, they are still enjoying the act of killing. Personally that seems odd and a little scary.

The fun isn't in the killing, its in the hunting. I don't particularly enjoy killing animals, but I enjoy going shooting. And it is a pretty satisfying feeling when you nail a feral animal like a pig or a fox. I only ever shoot a roo when we need meat for the dogs. I get just as much of a kick out of hunting native animals with a camera though.

That's the idea.......kill invasive non-native animals!!!! Because of my love for nature and native flora and fauna, I firmly believe in culling out destructive non-native animals.........feral domestic cats, European Starlings, feral non-native hogs, non-native foxes and such must go!!!!!

Thankfully the game commission in Alabama decided that hunters can bag as many Eurasian Collared Doves as they can shoot. It is a non-native species that is threatening native species.

I think the only introduced animals that are regulated or protected in any way here are the various species of trout and salmon that can be found in the cooler southern regions. Personally I hate the bastards, because they prey on native fish species, and have probably caused a couple to go extinct. The only problem is that they're so much fun to catch!

Everything else here is fair game, pigs, goats, foxes, rabbits, hares, deer, etc.

...........and Cane Toads????

Someone initially released some wild hogs on a nearby National Wildlife Refuge.....that person should be feed to the hogs. It was a ploy to strong-arm the refuge into having an open season on hogs.

Heh, yeah and cane toads. We don't have any down here. I'm too far south. The queenslanders seem to make a sport of killing them though. Ask climberinoz, he's from Townsville.

Killing toads is now becoming less and less popular, on account of 2 things:

The RSPCA has decided that they will charge anyone with killing them in a cruel way, and they are also a lot less populous then they used to be. Their population seems to explode when they first get to an area and then it reduces a little after a while. Still a major menace though- they have put numerous species of native australian wildlife on the edge of extinction. At the wildlife park where I work, we lost our 60kg cassowary because she ingested a toad (we think it might have been covered in green algae, making it look like a frog- which they do eat). She died within 40 minutes.

I won't kill them with golf clubs like some do, but I will run them over in my car. Becomes a traffic hazard in North Queensland as cars swerve all over the road to get them.

One of the single greatest threats to Northern Wildlife.

True.......if prepared properly. This duck was originally shot for eating......a female Ring-necked Duck is a very plain brown bird......not a real candidate for stuffing and mounting.
