HOW! can you people say such things about our national treasure, the animal that symbolises Australia to the world. This is just horrendous I could never live with myself knowing someone would want top kill a kangaroo.

Na bull**** they taste great marinated, no need for the dog to get the meat.

What is also funny is that although the activists stress how important the issue is to them, over 80% of them did not show up one morning till like 10:30 because it was TOO COLD...oh they really love nature...they probably just use global warming as an excuse and complain about that.

As far as im conserned, if we cant eat it, ride it, train it, harvest it or mine it; its as useful as (thinks of an example that isnt police, indicators(for some motorists) or politicians)..oh black ice. They cut down thousands of trees to build gungahlin dr ext. and they are more useful then kangaroos so i dont think they will consider the 'humanitarian approch'..which is still killing them anyway...

I agree with Datto, instead of spending the money on transport just so they can be kulled by someone else, send it to China.

All the worms are in the gut so it really doesn`t matter , just gross me out

well, being an ex farm girl (for most of my life) I can say, that the roo is the only meat I have ever seen that has worms (long ones) through the flesh, mainly the meatier thigh areas and seem to be along the veins, but trust me (I'm not shitting you) its not just the gut.

This thread rocks, agree with it all!!

I'm dodging the things every 2nd night - never met a group of ppl so like minded about the topic, you'd think this was a car forum lol :rofl::P

Michele - Thats nasty, reminds me about a video we saw in a highschool agriculture class. The Roo you eat, wouldn't just be wild stuff though?.. would it?... aww i ate 600g worth last night.. feeling sick now.

Me, i need the target pratice.

haha, can anyone take their own riffles down for a shoot? Id love a crap property that has no value to just blast away, 2 problems solved at once. :)

I recall being posted to Puckapunyal during the roo cull there. The roos were so inbred and diseased that they couldn't even jump straight and would even do sommersaults. It was actually pretty messed up. Anyways, we were on stand by as there were meant to be massive protests (a few bus loads from Melbourne) and it was all over the news. I remember driving out the front gate into town during it and seeing 2 cars on the side of the road and 4 people with signs (can't remember what they said). These people were claiming it was so inhumain, there was no alternative, but they wanted them moved. Idiots. Good to see so many people were so passionate about it too. Though I think the public thought that it would be the military doing the shooting (seeing some of the guys shoot, id be worried too ;) ), we only helped when we had the chance (not that we would ever do anything on purpose :D ).

As someone once said "Go west young man", eastern/western grey's are every where out west, I've seen plagues of them from Deni/Hay/Balranald to Bourke/Wilcannia/Nyngan. I actually feel for the red and the blue flyer, I reckon they are being eaten out of existance by the grey. The only way we can add balance to the wallaby/wallaroo/red etc is to cull the grey to give the others half a chance.

Only problem with that thought is you need tags or face being dobbed in and paying huge fines for shooting a protected species [yes, 'roo's are protected]. Don't get me wrong, I'd like to see the grey culled heaps, especially in the national parks and state rec area's etc where they are taking over.

Surely they worm the farmed roos.

Says here 'newly' identified... I've seen these worms going back to when I was a kid, they're not new worms, but perhaps newly identified, or a different species.

=============

http://www.awpc.org.au/kangaroos/book_files/diseases.htm

A newly identified worm thought to be derived from marsupials was found to be responsible for acute illness in two humans. Like Trichinella they invade muscles. The worms are thought to belong to a class of nematodes known as Muscpiceoids. In wallabies and possums these nematodes live in several tissues of the body and can invade muscles.

In his paper to the University of Tasmania (1997 114 ), Professor John Goldsmid said, "Kliks (1983) identified the aetiological agents of human infectious diseases as "heirloom" or "souvenir" species, depending on their evolutionary association with humans. Amongst the most important of the souvenir species are the zoonotic infections, infecting humans as a result of animal-human contact of some kind and varying from companionable contact to utilisation of animals as a food source.

In the last 25 or so years, of 35 new or newly recognised infections in humans, 20 (57%) have been zoonotic in origin - some trivial, some devastating to both the individual and the community.

With the increase in the numbers of immunocompromised people in the community resulting from medical treatment or as a result of the spread of AIDS, the problem of zoonotic infections will continue and there seems little doubt that the likely source for many of these new human infections in Australia will be the native animal population.

People who eat undercooked wallaby or kangaroo meat could be at risk of infection by a newly-discovered animal parasite, Australian doctors have warned.

The parasite was found in a Tasmanian man who suffered from inexplicable and severe muscle weakness over a number of years. He was known to consume large quantities of game. ("Parasite Risk to Game Eaters" November 7, 1997 Animal Pharmacology No. 384)

Laboratory tests suggests that the parasite is a new species of microscopic worm. It may also have been responsible for a similar infection in a New Zealand woman who had eaten wallaby meat while visiting Tasmania.

Still hungry?

Anyone else hear about the kangaroo BBQ at the Defence site in front of the activists, cant remember the name of it but it was something along the lines of kanga-banga-sanga something. The look on the activists faces would have been priceless

everyday on my way to work I see at least 2 to 3 new dead ones on the side of the road, thats a lot of money being spent to fix ppls cars and clean up the mess.

Or you could slow down at night and keep an eye out for wildlife? I see heaps of roo's heading home from the gym going past the dump, but ive never hit one...

Sure, they're over populated, but so is China, you don't see them killing every second born child... I don't see why animals should be treated any differently to humans...

It'd be nice if they could be relocated, but thats not how Australians want to spend their tax dollars... Plus they can disturb habitats for other animals, even if relocated... as long as the cull is being done humanely and with as little suffering possible.

Surely they worm the farmed roos.

Same stringent safe guards are inplace for farmed roo as any other "farmed food" animal, cattle, sheep...whatever

I wouldn't recommend shooting one down the back paddock and throwing it on the bbq, but anything on the supermarket shelf or restraunt should be ok.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
