Kangaroo cull targets millions
Some estimates put the 'roo population at 60 million
By Phil Mercer

There is outrage in Australia at plans to slaughter millions of the country's favourite animal - the kangaroo.
Government experts have increased the numbers allowed to be shot by commercial hunters from over five-and-a-half million every year to seven-million.
Animal rights campaigners have described the cull as a "killing frenzy".
But animal activists say the numbers could be wildly inflated
Farmers have a very different view. They say parts of Australia are in the grip of a 'roo plague after an "explosion" in numbers.
