Now I am not saying I agree with what the knuckle heads did... but lets not make this out to be the crime of the century. I just seems like if the anaimal is cute... kittens and kangaroos and puppies... its a "heinous crime" but if thoes same idiots were stomping frogs or something... hardly any one would give a fuck. OK all you PETA members ... let me have it!!!

i think you´ve missed the point, mid.
i don´t think people are objecting to the killing of kangaroos... they are objecting to the way in which this beast was killed.
sure, you come from a country where lots of animals are killed to feed you (so do i)... but you don´t tie your cattle or whatever to the back of your ute and drive till the creature is a mangled mess of bone, blood and tissue. you shoot it. or in some abattoirs, they´re electricuted - which is a fast, painless death.
this instance has nothing to do with whether or not the animal is cute (btw, kangaroos are not all that cute)... its about the appaling cruelty the beast was subjected to.
btw, i have no idea what PETA is.
