RSPCA Australia's Great & Small Talk
Ever wondered what egg labels really mean? 🥚🤔 What can we do to breed better, healthier dogs? 🐶 And what is mulesing of sheep, and what are the alternatives? 🐑
These are just some of the questions that we seek to answer in RSPCA Australia's Great and Small Talk 🎧
Join host Brian Daly as he questions RSPCA Australia scientists, policy officers, and experts about the animal welfare issues that we often don't talk about - but that we need to understand to improve the lives of all creatures great and small 🐾❤️
RSPCA Australia's Great & Small Talk
Kangaroo welfare
Kangaroos are widely recognised as one of Australia's most iconic species, known for their unique physical characteristics and cultural significance.
While these animals are beloved by many, managing groups of peri-urban kangaroos who inhabit environments close to established city or rural centres poses a significant challenge.
In this week's episode of Great and Small Talk, we chat with Kris Descovich, Senior Scientific Officer, RSPCA Australia about kangaroos, the challenges of managing the effects of peri-urban kangaroo inhabitation and the need to prioritise kangaroo welfare.
