Wrong, the joey should not be someone's pet anywhere. Red kangaroos grow very big and belong in Australia outback. Aussie here, and I think this is so wrong 😢. Red kangaroos can be really aggressive.
There are so many things wrong with this situation!! A baby red kangaroo should not be wearing a diaper and being kept as a pet in a Durango neighborhood! Red kangaroos can grow to be incredibly large and powerful animals, so what's going to happen when this one is no longer little, but large, powerful and potentially dangerous? The only place where this joey should be living, is in its' natural environment, in the Australian bush.
Honestly I think youtube employs these bots at this point, you can see the same types of names and comment structure across most videos and shorts nowadays.
Aussie here 😢. So sad, joeys (baby ‘Roos) shouldn’t be kept as pets. My ma raised orphaned joeys from the pouch. Once they reach adolescence Roos need to be reintroduced to the wilds or sanctuary environment… simply because their hormones kick in (no pun intended) and they can become aggressive or at least a handful. Why the daiper??? Doesn’t it impede its tail?? Droppings are usually compact dry almost odourless pellets
@@LulaMae21 There is nothing funny here with your lol. The fact that you dont understand the issue or have any respect for wildlife is not funny, it is tragic.
What a disgrace. The kangaroo should not be in America and is obviously not beong looked after. Reds are big and in tbe end, a wild animal so eventually they may be very sorry they have it.
It is seriously annoying that Australian Wildlife can be legally owned as pets overseas when that’s not even allowed in Australia. I am all for protecting wild animals & their right to be free in the wild. But when it is a case of rescuing an injured or baby animal or leaving it to die, or when an animal will be unable to survive in the wild. In those instances being a pet in their own homeland would be preferable. Also there is the fact that many species are going extinct due to limited habitat. Surely it would be better if some were raised as pets that could keep the species going in the event of extinction in the wild and perhaps the offspring of those pets could be used to repopulate the wild should conditions change to a point when they could be reintroduced in areas where they had become extinct. We also had a ridiculous incident where a magpie that had been rescued as a baby & become best friends with the family’s dog was taken away from its family by wildlife officers when it came to the authorities attention due to videos of the bird & dogs relationship were released online. After public outcry & family undergoing whatever training & licensing necessary to keep wildlife. As well stopping all activities seen as profiting from the relationship as in the popular videos. The bird was returned to the family. This incident must been very traumatic on the bird & dog who would not have understood why this was happening to them. As well as the family. The bird wasn’t being held captive by the family. It was free to fly away if it wanted to. It clearly stayed because it wanted to. It was cruel of the authorities to take it away from its best friend & family. Such relationships are rare & precious. Magpies are one of the most numerous birds in Australia & even a pest. I really don’t see why any of it should have been illegal. I don’t see what harm the videos would have done to the bird. On the contrary it made her a good ambassador for her species & wildlife in general. Bringing joy & making people care about wildlife. In this instance the videos probably saved her. Shudder to thin how many times would have happened without coming to the public notice & therefore not getting this positive outcome. Animals have feelings they form attachments & the unfortunately can’t talk.
I agree. Everyone jumps on people for keeping exotic animals, often without knowing the full circumstances. Sometimes, animals lose their mothers and will die slowly of starvation if not rescued. As long as the animal isn't dangerous at its current stage of life, and the owner has enough room for it and cares for it properly, it's not anyone's business. If there's abuse, then there's a problem, but simply making videos isn't abuse. I'm glad the magpie was returned. I don't know what they expected to accomplish by taking it. It's a bird, it can fly back any time it wants.
