The Australian government and wildlife experts said that some Kangaroo species have a very fast breeding rate, so they need to be destroyed within the term to protect land and other animals from hunger during drought.
However, the killing of the animal, which is considered a legal national symbol, has angered some social activists.
Those who have spent years protesting the end of animal meat intake and blocking brutal trade benefits say the campaign of the chi allies is inappropriate.
Under the government's program, hunters are paid a fee based on the Kangaroo kilograms they hunt. Kangaroo's remains will then be processed for meat and skin and export to about 70 other countries.
According to the Australian Industry Association (KIAA), the industry consumes products from the "national symbol" worth about 200 million Australian dollars (133 million USD) per year.
For decades, Kangaroo leather has been a leading material chosen by high-end football shoe manufacturers.
However, in the first months of 2023, US sports company Nike and German rival Puma announced that they were implementing a campaign to stop using Kangaroo leather and choose synthetic materials instead.
animal protection groups have declared this a brilliant victory after many years of mobilizing the corridor.
Mick McIntyre of the Kangaroos Alive campaign group - part of a network of international activists in the European Union and the US - shared: "This will definitely be a great day for the bag mice".
However, the boycott of Kangaroo products has disappointed the Australian government and wildlife experts.
Accordingly, they believe that licensing the extinction of Kangaroo trees at a time is necessary to maintain a sustainable population and prevent their competition for food with other animals.
If it werent for the Kangaroo skin and meat industry, they would still be shot, Im sure of it, said Jim Radford, a conservationist at La Trobe Melbourne University.
The farm owners will still destroy part of Kangaroo and that will have serious consequences for the ecosystem. So it would be much better if Kangaroo were eliminated in a controlled, regulated manner.
According to the latest statistics from the Australian Government, there are about 36.5 million Kangaroos living and under the control of 5 states that allow commercial harvesting including: New South Wales, Australia, Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia.
In 2023, the Australian government set a target of destroying 5 million Kangaroos per state.
In addition, the Australian government has also set non-commercial quotas, allowing farmers to kill a certain number of rat pockets on their assets, but those cases are not collected or recorded.
According to the Department of Climate Change, Energy, Environment and Water, in recent years, annual quotas have not been met by states and only 4% of Kangaroo have been destroyed.
Dennis King - Executive Director of Kangaroo Industry Association Australia (KIAA) said that social activists should take time to look at the reality when the Government is strictly managing the number of Kangaroo.
Kangaroo is a wonderful animal, a symbol of the country, so the Governments programs are implemented to ensure better results for their health, said Dennis King.
