Hasta veinte mil son cazados cada noche, incluyendo las crías que son arrancadas de las bolsas de sus madres muertas o moribundas y cuyas diminutas cabezas son aplastadas por las botas de los asesinos. Estos sádicos bobos, saturados de cerveza y whisky, se sienten como héroes mientras regresan a casa en sus vehículos todo terreno adornados con los cuerpos de los canguros muertos y moribundos. | ![kangaroos](https://ivu.org/images/legacy/history/news/3-98/kangaroos.jpg) Los australianos no son aficionados a la carne de canguro - descrita por el Dr. Paul Hopwood de la Universidad de Sydney como 'nidos de gusanos' (Dirofilaria roemeri) - de modo que la mafia internacional de la carne está intentando introducir el producto en Europa. Al mismo tiempo, la Comunidad Europea está sentada sobre una montaña de carne invendible de 700,000 toneladas debido al temor por la BSE ("vacas locas"). Cuando los costes de almacenamiento superen el valor real de la carne, tendrá que ser destruida. Y los traficantes de carne de canguro chocarán con el mismo problema tan pronto como el público se entere de que su malsano producto puede también acarrear toxoplasma, enfermedades víricas, salmonelosis y gangrena, y que nunca hay ninguna inspección post mortem de los cadáveres por parte de un higienista de carnes independente. Una epidemia viral podría ser de hecho la causa de la ceguera coroide que se ha observado entre los animales de Nueva Gales del Sur, y nadie sabe cómo afectaría a los consumidores humanos. Servir la carne 'bien hecha' podría reducir el riesgo, pero convierte la carne en algo prácticamente incomible. Por todo ello, para todo aquel que esté en su sano juicio, tan sólo existe una opción: matente alejado de ella y ni se te ocurra dársela a tu perro o gato. He estado en Australia en varias ocasiones y adoro Sydney, su maravillosa gente, su clima y todo lo demás, pero no volveré mientras las masacres de canguros continúen. En lugar de eso, me dedicaré a informar al público sobre este horror y empezaré una campaña para desprestigiar el turismo a Australia hasta que la matanza finalice. Si la información sobre las enfermedades transmitidas por la carne de canguro se hace llegar a los potenciales consumidores de Alemania, Francia, Gran Bretaña, Suecia, Dinamarca, Holanda y Bélgica - donde la mafia de la carne se está esforzando por establecerse en medio del desastre de la [BSE ("vacas locas")](https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/interviews/6198-science-articles-bse.html) - el apetito y la demanda de carne de canguro podrían decaer significativamente. Yo incluso propongo un boicot de todas las mercancías australianas hasta que este escándalo llegue a su fin. A través de un buen número de amigos que tengo en Australia, sé que existe una oposición pública a los horribles métodos de matanza empleados por los furtivos nocturnos, y confío que con la ayuda local e internacional este negocio vergonzoso (descrito por algunos cínicos como una 'cosecha') dejará finalmente de existir. Para los escépticos, puede que les resulte interesante saber que mi protesta y llamamiento personal para eliminar tres párrafos anti-animalistas de la última edición del nuevo catecismo Romano Católico - y la avalancha de protestas internacionales que llegó detrás - incitaron al Vaticano, contra todo pronóstico, a acceder a la revisión de los artículos, haciendo gala de lo que 'The Guardian' en el Reino Unido presentaba como 'una sensibilidad hacia la presión pública no muy frecuente por parte del Vaticano'. Así que unámonos para despertar un interés similar por los indefensos e inocentes canguros que los australianos en su día adoptaron como símbolo nacional arrogantemente. \- ***Hans Fischinger*** *Para más detalles sobre la campaña internacional contra este tráfico repugnante contactar con: Viva! 12 Queen Square, Brighton BN1 3FD, UK (Reino Unido).

The history section of this website is drawn from a body of legacy content originally compiled by John Davis, former manager of the International Vegetarian Union. It represents his curation of historical material, and in places includes passages written by him directly. Over the years, the IVU website has migrated between several different hosting servers.
