Campaign To Ban Kangaroo Imports Into Europe
Over 100 Members of the European parliament (MEP’s) have launched a campaign to ban the imports of kangaroo meat and skins into the EU. The MEP’s learnt about the barbaric treatment of kangaroos at a screening of the award winning film KANGAROO A Love Hate story held in the EU parliament. Since the film screenings Kangaroos Alive have been working with the Eurogroup for Animals to been bring the attention of the kangaroo slaughter to the people of Europe, the largest importer of kangaroo body parts.
The Eurogroup for Animals has an ongoing campaign to ban kangaroo products coming into Europe “Ban KANGAROO products to EU“.

There are fewer kangaroos than there ever have been and the government’s own survey data shows decline. Government survey data and commercial shooting statistics illustrate declining populations and landscapes now significantly depleted of kangaroos. Analysis shows critically flawed kangaroo survey methodologies systematically inflate population estimates from which commercial shooting quotas are then over-allocated.
Kangaroos grow and breed slowly and have high juvenile mortality. For example, a Grey Kangaroo doe can produce up to eight independent joeys in her lifetime, [1,2] with just two likely to survive to independence. [3]
Maximum wild population growth rates average ~10% in optimal conditions,[4] with annual declines of up to 60% during drought recorded.[5,6,7] It is biologically impossible for kangaroo populations to increase rapidly.
Shooting quotas of 15 to 20% or more [8] of population estimates exceed actual kangaroo population growth rates.
Companies that profit from selling kangaroo body parts include:
International Brands: Adidas, Nike
Australia: Woolworths, Coles
EU: Lydl Germa
Help the Kangaroos in the Fires
Sadly more than 12.35 million acres and much of that is kangaroo habitat.
Approximately 1.2 billion animals have been killed and unknown numbers injured and left for dead.
The images from the fires and wildlife are apocalyptic but thankfully through the work of Greg and rescue teams across Australia some of these victims can get the urgent treatment they need.
