Will Australian declare a war to kangaroos?
- matthewsinclair 4y agoNot that I know of. Although there are bounty systems for killing kangaroos under certain circumstances and in some States because there are just so many of them [0]. Curiously, back in 1932, there was this insane thing called "The Great Emu War" [1] (which very few Aussies have heard of, in my experience) where we literally declared war on emus. As [1] says, "While a number of the birds were killed, the emu population persisted and continued to cause crop destruction."
