The
Kangaroo Boning Factory is located outside the town of Brewarrina,
in north western New South Wales, Australia. The flesh and bones
of dead kangaroos are made into petfood there.

This is called a 'chiller box.' The chiller boxes are deposited
in various outback towns. The kangaroo shooters kill the kangaroos
in the wild and then bring the bodies to the chiller boxes.
Hundreds of dead kangaroos are hung in the chiller boxes. It's like
a refridgerator inside. The bodies are collected from the chiller
boxes and taken to the boning factory.

These are some sort of trays outside the kangaroo boning factory.
They may have been used for drying kangaroo skins.
The trays stacked in this fashion, allow the sun and wind to move
through them. It is good to do your own investigations at places
like these and ask as many questions as possible.

This is a photo of outside the building. The manager's son took
me inside. I wasn't allowed to take any photographs.
But I saw men inside cutting up the bodies of dead kangaroos. There
was blood and guts everywhere. The smell made me sick.

The flesh and bones of kangaroos that are not wanted by the boning
factory are dumped in ditches and buried in landfills out at Red
Hill, outside the town of Brewarrina, in north western New South
Wales, Australia.

This is how some people treat Australian wildlife.
|

These are some close up photographs of the rubbish dumped out at
Red Hill. There are a lot of arms, legs, ribcages, ears and kangaroo
fur amongst plastic and other rubbish. There were thousands of flies
swarming over this stinking mess.

I thought of all the beautiful kangaroos that had been made into
petfood and this kind rubbish. All the mothers and the joeys and
male kangaroos that had suffered and died for money $$$ for profit
$$ for greed $.

This
is the photograph I took whilst driving away from the dumped kangaroo
bodies out at Red Hill. Who would want to kill a beautiful wild
kangaroo for petfood? My two dogs are vegetarian. They eat weetbix
and soy milk for breakfast and Bushes vegetarian dogfood at night.
The are happy and healthy and no kangaroo or other Australian wildlife
had to die to feed them.
