To my Aussie and Aussie-familiar-with friends: what do you think of this?

Especially what's going on in the comments. I'm asking because I've discussed kangaroo leather and kangaroo meat with Fizzy, and the above article seems very American PETA types judging Australia by American PETA standards.

Thoughts?

And on an unrelated note, I'd like to thank Tria, Olive, and especially Fizzy for putting up with me. All the time, but especially this last week or so with the running out of Lexapro. Sorry about the crazy. *hugs you all*

I really don't know. I do think kangaroo skins/meat are no worse than most other leather/meat, and better in some ways so it's a bit annoying when foreigners (especially the ones who do eat meat and wear leather) get all self righteous about it. But at the same time the issues with the industry need to be pointed out.

Couldn't have said it better myself. (I know because that's pretty much what I was thinking, but less sense-making.)
