Kill A Kangaroo, Save The Planet: Greanpeace Declares War On Wallabies

I'm having trouble buying this, but they're apparently calling for a kangaroo cull to help combat CO2 (The Invisible Killer).

MORE kangaroos should be slaughtered and eaten to help save the world from global warming, environmental activists say.

The controversial call to cut down on beef and serve more of the national symbol on our dinner plates follows a report on curbing greenhouse gas emissions damaging the planet.

Greenpeace energy campaigner Mark Wakeham urged Aussies to substitute some red meat for roo to help reduce land clearing and the release of methane gas.

"It is one of the lifestyle changes we can make," Mr Wakeham said.

"Changing our meat consumption habits is a small way to make an impact."

The eat roo recommendation is contained in a report, Paths to a Low-Carbon Future, commissioned by Greenpeace and released today.

It also coincides with recent calls from climate change experts for people in rich countries to reduce red meat and switch to chicken and fish because land-clearing and burping and farting cattle and sheep were damaging the environment.

This nonsense has really gone on long enough, hasn't it? If we really are to worry about the burps and farts of our food animals, what they're really saying is that humanity itself must be culled. Indeed, many say precisely that, but the rest are mealy-mouthed pussies and just sidle up to the Final Solution to Save the Planet.

So, we have a choice between killing one sort of furry cute creature ('roos) or another (polar bears). Seems like a wash to me.

I'm pretty sure 'roos aren't carnivorous. But perhaps Global Warming will change them into some pack-hunting hopping sort of kangawolves.

Death Race 2007: Looks like they're already trying to kill 'roos. Bastards.

Thanks to captaincolo.

Whoops: Jack already posted this. Oh well, there is a funny video.
