Save Canberra's Kangaroos

07/06/2026

Only 1 day left until the ACT Government’s kangaroo killing program begins.

There are a number of ways you can help oppose the killing of kangaroos:

1. Join us for reserve watching

Join us in monitoring reserves during the killing program. Our role is simple: be present, observe, document what we can and let the government know that people are paying attention. Direct message Animal Liberation ACT if you are interested.

2. Attend our rally on Wednesday 10 June 12pm outside the Legislative Assembly.

Come along and stand with others who oppose the killing of kangaroos. Public pressure matters, and showing up sends a clear message that many people do not support this violence against kangaroos.

3. Send the ACT Environment Minister an email to demand an end to this cruelty: [email protected]

Tell the Minister that you oppose the killing of kangaroos and believe these animals deserve protection, not persecution. Politicians need to hear directly from members of the community.

4. Share this post on your story and repost it.

Please let us know in the comments what action you’ve taken. Every email, every rally attendee, and every reserve watcher makes a difference.

The ACT Government has announced its kangaroo killing program for this year with over 3000 kangaroos in the firing line. This number doesn’t even include the estimated one thousand joeys who will be ripped from their mother’s pouches and either decapitated or bludgeoned to death 💔

This target is the second largest in the history of the ACT Government’s kangaroo killing program 😭

Let’s not forget that this kangaroo killing program that they dress up as a “conservation cull” is nothing but cruel and unnecessary. At the end of the day it is never going to be right to destroy families and kill mothers and their babies in the name of conservation, profit or land management.

Please join us in calling for an end to this senseless killing by joining us at our rally next Wednesday, 10 June, 12pm, outside the ACT Legislative Assembly ✊🏼

Can’t make it to the rally? Here are other ways to call for an end to this killing:

We must never go silent for our kangaroos ❤️‍🩹🦘

In a world where you can be anything....be kind.
This is beautiful Bebe. Her mum was killed and a kind human rescued her. Wildcare volunteers raised this feisty little joey until she and her buddy, Daph, were big enough to move to a pre-release enclosure with ten other joeys. Months later, the gates were opened and she was released.....safe from cars, guns and humans. Hopefully, one day, she'll have her own joey. We'll keep you posted. ❤🦘

We are just weeks away from the announcement of the ACT Government’s annual kangaroo killing program for this year 🥺

Another year of the cruel and unnecessary killing of kangaroos. Another year of joeys ripped from their mother’s pouches and either bludgeoned to death or decapitated 💔

We will never stop fighting for an end to this senseless kangaroo killing.

For them. ❤️‍🩹🦘

This beautiful little joey and his mum were victims of a car strike in Canberra. Mum died, bub survived. A kind human rescued him and he was referred to Wildcare Queanbeyan. For months he was cared for by another kind and caring human, who doted on him and the other little joeys in her care. When he was old enough, he and his buddies were transferred to a pre-release property NE of Canberra, where the care continued.

This Mother’s Day, let’s also celebrate the emblematic mothers of the animal world – eastern grey kangaroos. Miraculously, their unique biology – carrying and nurturing their babies in a safe pouch – enables many of their babies to survive the most traumatic event imaginable...the massive impact of a vehicle strike. The babies of few others species could survive such trauma.

These wonderful mothers deserve protection and appreciation. Not persecution.
