World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I mean, its legal for farmers to shoot them...
Not in Victoria.
Now they don’t need to apply for an ACTW if:
But this clearly wasn’t done in conjunction with a harvester, an ACTW wasn’t obtained, and most importantly it he article mentions many of them being killed by vehicles.
This is the case of some fucksticks going spotlighting in their utes across multiple properties.
Why?
Same reason farmers shoot wild pigs or deer, they destroy the crops.
Kangaroo numbers have exploded since British settlement. There are roughly 15 million of these Eastern greys and up to 50 million kangaroos in total as they breed in large cycles and cause huge issues.
Sounds like humans.
I'm sure it has been asked, but can you not eat more of them?
We do eat a lot of them, and there are special programs for farmers to get professionals to come out kill them and ship them off to be turned into food.
I've never seen exported kangaroo meat. Is that even a thing? Am I missing out much? How good it is?
It’s kinda meh tbh.
Tastes like a pretty generic meat, best used minced for a burger or something.
Emu steaks can be nice if prepared well.
Now crocodile is fucking fantastic, it’s like chicken and squid together.
I can't even eat rabbits, and you guys down there chomping on crocodile. Respect!
It's really good, very lean meat, slightly sweet and not too gamey. It's very expensive here in NSW at least, I've had better luck with prices in Victoria but haven't been there in ages so not sure of how it's priced in comparison to other meats atm.
