Kangaroos are very different from cats. They are much bigger, easier to
find, live in groups and are tame. The kangaroos in Canberra are easy to
approach, normally to within about 20 metres, so shooting with a dart is not
so hard. Besides every time there is a kangaroo cull here there is always
lots of people protesting it. Kangaroos here are a problem to people, not
just wildlife, because of the number that are killed on the roads and damage
to cars and possibly people and the impact they have on several other
species of fauna and flora.

Subject: A different way for feral cats?????
I have the ABC as my home page and just had a quick look to see if anything
was happening in the world and there is an item on the kangaroo problem in
Canberra where they are proposing to deliver contraceptives via darts.
Would that be something that could be used for feral cats?
