Stop the largest wildlife slaughter on earth

The world was appalled when Canadians killed baby harp seals. Australians brutally slaughter kangaroos and bash their babies to death.

So What's the Difference?

Government Sanctioned Cruelty

The Code of Practice states that baby kangaroos can be ripped from their slain mother's pouch and hit on the head with a water pipe or iron bar until dead. Older, out of pouch, but still dependent young kangaroos flee in terror when their mothers are killed to die from cold, starvation, predation and maternal deprevation. A million or more baby kangaroos die in this way every year.
