                  @ATangk: Yes, I totally agree with you that 'from head to toe' is most unfortunate wording to have used, given that the actual skin features neither a head nor a toe.

    The unfortunate thing is due to Australian grazing and farming methods we have made an environment where some animals can proliferate more than others or more than what they should. Hence farmers culling poor old skippy.

        What's your brilliant solution to the overpopulation ta? Let them totally decimate the native vegetation, then die from starvation in the remaining dust bowl when there's nothing left for them to eat?

    • spaceflight on 18/10/2021 - 12:14

      About 2 million kangaroos are killed in Australia each year for commercial purposes, from a total population in harvest areas currently estimated to be about 43 million.

        we're probably making them evolve into super-roos. killing the dumbest / least stealthy 1% of the population every year.

      Yep.

      Don't like that the dingoes are running off with sheep? Cull them.

      Don't like that the kangaroos that used to be kept in control by the dingoes are growing in number and over-grazing the land? Cull them.

      Now it's just a matter of what pops up if they eventually get the roo populations down.

      • schquid on 18/10/2021 - 13:10

        It's Australia so probably snakes and the deadlier category of spiders. We'll be fine though, the cane toads will kill all the snakes eventually

        The plight of the (genetically pure) dingo is a serious issue Buckster. That animal is one of the most endangered in the world, yet oddly, not many seem to even acknowledge that, and many less actually seem to care about it. You should not equate the plight of the (extremely endangered) Australian dingo with kangaroo culling, in any way, shape or form. They are two completely different things.

        • buckster on 18/10/2021 - 13:35
          +4

          I'm not sure where you inferred your impression that I thought the plight of the dingo insignificant. My comment was simply pointing out the futile and ineffective strategy our farmers/govt continually repeats when dealing with native wildlife.

          Dingoes were the apex predator that kept roo populations in check, till we decimated their numbers.

          • GnarlyKnuckles on 18/10/2021 - 13:50
            -2

            @buckster: What I was pointing out was that dingo culling and roo culling are entirely separate issues; whereas you (simplistically in my humble opinion) 'lumped them together' as if they were similar.

            Now, about roo culling … I think it's a good thing that we can harvest wild roos to skin/eat that have led free-range lives; because doing so reduces the market for farmed animals.

            On the subject of harvesting free-range animals that are already there instead of farming them (at great expense, both monetarily and to the land/waterways), what would be good I reckon is if we could set about utilising Australia's hundreds of thousands of camels (Box et al. 2016; Box et al. 2019), populations of up to 2 million sambar deer (Bennett et al. 2015), > 3 million goats (Pople & Froese 2012, p. 3), an astonishing > 20 million wild boar (Cowled et al. 2009), and > 150 million rabbits (National Museum of Australia 2021).

      Kangaroo leather has value. It is lighter, thinner, stronger, and more flexible than cow leather.

      • lanky074 on 18/10/2021 - 12:42

        Unfortunately from what I know kangaroo leather is the best for motorbike leathers and are the best, they are lighter and stronger to abrasion than cow leather. The problem is that one company I know are farming kangaroos themselves in Italy. Others might be some doing it from other source but I haven't heard much on it from the others manufacturers.

        • Antikythera on 18/10/2021 - 12:47

          I guess high quality leather products require unblemished skins which would be harder to obtain from wild creatures. Sure your average biker likely wouldn't care about blemishes if it is functional considerations they prioritise. I have watched video of manufacturing of like prestige sportscar leather seats where the tolerances on leather quality control was insane.

        You claim that "it feels like you're hardly touching anything at all"…. And your user name is gnarly knuckles.

        I therefore conclude that you have really dry calloused skin on your finger tips… And you can't really feel the texture of the roo's fur at all.

        Instead, your mind has created an artificial construct, kind of like in the movie "the matrix". In the movie, Neo can slow down time and do martial arts at light speed. However your only special power is that kangaroo fur feels really, really soft.
