Someone has FOI’d the numbers in the ACT’s kangaroo culls which means we can share the numbers.
Interestingly the culls only started in 2009 with 494 roos culled, reached a peak in 2011 with 2439, and declined last year to 1154.

Territory and Municipal Services are letting you all know they’re done with their skippy slaughter:
The ACT Government wishes to advise that Callum Brae Nature Reserve, Crace Nature Reserve, Goorooyaroo Nature Reserve, Jerrabomberra West Nature Reserve, Kama Nature Reserve, Mt Painter Nature Reserve, Mulligans Flat Nature Reserve, The Pinnacle Nature Reserve and Wanniassa Hills Nature Reserve [...]

Territory and Municipal Services have been further incensed by another attack on the fenceline protecting their endangered Bettong population from foxes:
“This wilful vandalism is starting to border on eco-terrorism. The Sanctuary plays a vital role in ecological research and this vandalism is putting at risk years of planning and research, not to mention an Eastern [...]

Territory and Municipal Services are getting increasingly frustrated by attacks on the ACT’s park infrastructure while the kangaroo cull is underway:
The ACT Government has today called for information from the public after at least 30 sections of the predator-proof fence at Mulligans Flat Sanctuary were cut open last night. An inspection is currently taking place [...]

Territory and Municipal Services are extremely cross with animal rights activists who have been digging up the mass kangaroo graves from the recent cull:

The Department of Territory and Municipal Services has added to their website a Q&A on kangaroo culling.
Halfway down the page is the announcement that from this Saturday 19 June to 31 July those shooters who have passed “a recent accuracy test administered by the Australian Federal Police, as [...]

Somehow the New York Times manages to take a time out on the Elliot Spitzer saga and finds room to run a story about the Belconnen kangaroo cull. Reporter Tim Johnson goes to a bit of effort to implicate federal environment minister Peter Garrett in the issue.

Belconnen has made international news thanks to the proposed Kangaroo cull. UK based group Viva (Vegetarians International voice for animals) has started an online petition to stop the cull and has attracted signatures from people in over 25 countrys. Even Sir Paul Mcartney has spoken out saying that the “needless slaughter of kangaroos has to [...]

In a move that will surely have the greenies wringing their hands and knotting their knickers, the ACT Government has blocked plans by the Department of Defence to relocate mobs of eastern grey kangaroos from its former naval transmission station site in Belconnen.
Put simply this means the roos, and there are plenty of them, will [...]
