Mel,I was just watching a wonderful show on Animal-Planet,called"Jack the Joey" about this lady somewhere in Oz,I think her name was Edith Latham,who takes in all kinds of animals,but mostly roos and mostly joeys,rescued after the moms got hit by cars.She is an amazing lady,had pouches hanging everywhere in the house,had a big fenced in property where the Joeys go when thy are old enough,to later be set free..
She also had rescued horses,sheep,deer,cats and dogs,geese and ducks,an amazing lady!!One of her dogs was an Albino Shepard,blind and deaf,the other a big old female with seizures.
Watching her saving all these roos,I can't help thinking of the other side of the coin,where they are treated like pests and hunted down.
It was however an excellent show,even my cats were watching these little Joeys hopping around
