In the absence of a commercial industry, increased conservation and pest culling (with poorer animal welfare outcomes) would still need to occur to manage the populations of certain species.
- A strictly regulated and ethical commercial industry has the ability to make use of kangaroos that would otherwise need to be discarded.
- It ensures kangaroos are harvested humanely by licensed and qualified shooters, in sustainable numbers.
- Instead of banning products, any issues need to be addressed through research – this is where the effort should be concentrated.
