The article Kangaroo in the firing line by Rod McGuirk from The WorldPost newspaper, says that the Kangaroo problem should be stopped by shooting kangaroos. An official from Australia said “we could stop the problem, we just have to shoot them all”. Rod says that we can't because its the national animal. We know they cause many problems, like traffic, or they invade houses. The solution is not shooting them all we should do something about it. Control it in some way.

What I think

Kangaroos should be controlled not killed. How can an animal that has livin there scince the begining of australia just disappear. One way is start eating their meat just like if it where cows meat. This wouldn't just stop the kangaroo plague. It would also proportion australia more money. The skin, the meat are all ways of gaining more money and stopping the plague.But a way to stop it is definitely not killing them. Think, what would Australia be without kangaroos? What would happen to the food chain? Kangaroos can’t be killed
