Eat Kangaroos, Save the Planet

CNSNews.com) – Australian sheep and cattle producers should consider shifting to kangaroos to help reduce emissions of “greenhouse gases,” a major report on climate change says.
 
Unlike sheep and cows, kangaroos release a negligible amount of methane when they belch and emit wind. Methane is one of the group of gases blamed by many scientists for global warming.
 
“Australian marsupials emit negligible amounts of methane from enteric fermentation,” the Australian federal government’s climate change adviser, Prof. Ross Garnaut, said in a report released on Tuesday. “This could be a source of international comparative advantage for Australia in livestock production.”

Kangeroo is dog meat or croc bait IMO.

Apparently it is one of the more lean, and healthy meats out there, but the taste is something I can't deal with.

They do make great targets when one runs out of pigs and cats.
