                • @ATangk: Yes, I totally agree with you that 'from head to toe' is most unfortunate wording to have used, given that the actual skin features neither a head nor a toe.

        • Thank you and updated - Head to Tail

        • …individually measured and are 160cm+ (Long) by 75cm (Wide) from head to tail.

          That 'head to tail' bit kinda gives it away, don't you think?

          • @Oz-Bogan: I hope you realise its because they edited the post. See the revisions.

                I am not seeking 'karma' (don't believe in the concept), I certainly have no need nor reason to 'kiss arse' (assuming that is what you were attempting to say), and I am certainly not your 'buddy'.

                Best you toddle off elsewhere, and stick to whatever it is that you do best. Repeatedly embarrassing yourself here on this website cannot be good for your self esteem …

    The unfortunate thing is due to Australian grazing and farming methods we have made an environment where some animals can proliferate more than others or more than what they should. Hence farmers culling poor old skippy.

    • +1

      Call them pests and then it's all good to kill them

      • +2

        What's your brilliant solution to the overpopulation ta? Let them totally decimate the native vegetation, then die from starvation in the remaining dust bowl when there's nothing left for them to eat?

    • About 2 million kangaroos are killed in Australia each year for commercial purposes, from a total population in harvest areas currently estimated to be about 43 million.

      • +2

        we're probably making them evolve into super-roos. killing the dumbest / least stealthy 1% of the population every year.

        • +2

          That's why some jump in front of cars. The smart ones have implanted mind control in the dumb ones and use that to ensure only the smart ones survive.

    • +4

      Yep.

      Don't like that the dingoes are running off with sheep? Cull them.

      Don't like that the kangaroos that used to be kept in control by the dingoes are growing in number and over-grazing the land? Cull them.

      Now it's just a matter of what pops up if they eventually get the roo populations down.

      • It's Australia so probably snakes and the deadlier category of spiders. We'll be fine though, the cane toads will kill all the snakes eventually

      • +1

        The plight of the (genetically pure) dingo is a serious issue Buckster. That animal is one of the most endangered in the world, yet oddly, not many seem to even acknowledge that, and many less actually seem to care about it. You should not equate the plight of the (extremely endangered) Australian dingo with kangaroo culling, in any way, shape or form. They are two completely different things.

        • +4

          I'm not sure where you inferred your impression that I thought the plight of the dingo insignificant. My comment was simply pointing out the futile and ineffective strategy our farmers/govt continually repeats when dealing with native wildlife.

          Dingoes were the apex predator that kept roo populations in check, till we decimated their numbers.

          • -2

            @buckster: What I was pointing out was that dingo culling and roo culling are entirely separate issues; whereas you (simplistically in my humble opinion) 'lumped them together' as if they were similar.

            Now, about roo culling … I think it's a good thing that we can harvest wild roos to skin/eat that have led free-range lives; because doing so reduces the market for farmed animals.

            On the subject of harvesting free-range animals that are already there instead of farming them (at great expense, both monetarily and to the land/waterways), what would be good I reckon is if we could set about utilising Australia's hundreds of thousands of camels (Box et al. 2016; Box et al. 2019), populations of up to 2 million sambar deer (Bennett et al. 2015), > 3 million goats (Pople & Froese 2012, p. 3), an astonishing > 20 million wild boar (Cowled et al. 2009), and > 150 million rabbits (National Museum of Australia 2021).

    I get that kangaroos need to be culled in some areas, but there is something about having one as a rug that makes me uncomfortable. Still, if it's going to be wasted otherwise….

      there is something about having one as a rug that makes me uncomfortable

      Wear clothes when you're lying on it. That will definitely reduce the skin irritation.

    • Still, if it's going to be wasted otherwise….

      Why would it be wasted?

      Kangaroo leather has value. It is lighter, thinner, stronger, and more flexible than cow leather.

      • Unfortunately from what I know kangaroo leather is the best for motorbike leathers and are the best, they are lighter and stronger to abrasion than cow leather. The problem is that one company I know are farming kangaroos themselves in Italy. Others might be some doing it from other source but I haven't heard much on it from the others manufacturers.

        • I guess high quality leather products require unblemished skins which would be harder to obtain from wild creatures. Sure your average biker likely wouldn't care about blemishes if it is functional considerations they prioritise. I have watched video of manufacturing of like prestige sportscar leather seats where the tolerances on leather quality control was insane.

        • Kangaroo farms in Italy?!?

          • @Nitrous: LOL, this is clearly crackpot wowser utterly redic BS, heard at a pub from a guy who was outside of 24 tinnies and had just smoked four spliffs.

              • @spaceflight: I heard—from that same guy that lanks gets his 'good oil' from—that Ferrari farms unicorns for their leather. And mermaids. Frankly it's an outrage, and something should be done about it.

            • @[Deactivated]: Meh. Everyone knows that all of Britain's native mammals are crap anyway (except hedgehogs). Let our wallabies have at that melancholy joint, I say.

        • Lol god damn I hate that so much. We have so many roos they're classified as pests but humans will still farm them on the other side of the world purely for cosmetic reason.

          • @Subada: LOL Subbsy, no, they won't. Think about it. Think about how much it would cost to farm roos in Italy, until they were fully grown (i.e. were big enough to actually use to make jackets). Then think how much cheaper it would be for the spaghetti gang to simply buy roo leather from Australia, instead.

            Doesn't anyone just think anymore?!? Is simple logic a thing of the past?!?

    I can see the logic in owning a sheepskin rug. Wool is a soft material.

    • You have clearly never patted a roo. They have the softest fur I have ever felt. Softer than a rabbit's. It feels 'silky'; like you are hardly touching anything at all.

        I've patted a fair few roos in my time.

        You claim that "it feels like you're hardly touching anything at all"…. And your user name is gnarly knuckles.

        I therefore conclude that you have really dry calloused skin on your finger tips… And you can't really feel the texture of the roo's fur at all.

        Instead, your mind has created an artificial construct, kind of like in the movie "the matrix". In the movie, Neo can slow down time and do martial arts at light speed. However your only special power is that kangaroo fur feels really, really soft.
