Bunnings Kangaroos, South Morang - March 2010
Members of Wildlife Rescuers have worked tirelessly over the previous four years with Government agencies and other organisations and businesses in an effort to reach a satisfactory outcome for the mob of kangaroos left stranded and enclosed by commercial and residential development occurring around the McDonalds Road - Plenty Road area in South Morang.
The wildlife organisations were working towards having the kangaroos relocated. Unfortunately, as it became apparent that we might be able to succeed with the application to relocate, the Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) took a unilateral heavy-handed approach - without any consultation or advise to the other parties involved - and secretly culled all of the 21 healthy kangaroos that were left there.
