Not without a licence. Kangaroos are native animals and are therefore protected by law. Limited licences are granted for controlled culling, although it must be admitted that this is not always done under the best of circumstances, and sometimes the animals die a prolonged and agonising death.

It is not legal to kill any native animals in Australia.

There are sometimes circumstances which allow for the culling of some animals, by people with a licence. Farmers wishing to remove kangaroos from their property must seek permission.

Absolutely not.

Kangaroos are protected by law. Only farmers with licences specifically to cull kangaroos, and other specially licenced people, may hunt kangaroos. The process for gaining a licence is rigorous, and it is not given to just anyone, let alone tourists.

Yes it is, they are a protected species as they were almost hunted to extinction early last century. There are currently 100,000 koalas throughout Australia.

Not at all. Kangaroo meat is readily sold in supermarkets and butcher shops.

It is illegal to hunt kangaroos without a proper licence.
