Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Holy roo. I just hopped into a meeting in town and have jumped back to these magnificent responses. This has absolutely blown me away as I thought I would have got totally the opposite response.
OK, so now I have established there is a market for kangaroo meat are there people out there who would be willing to buy it from a farm where high ethical and environmental standards are practised? A farm where you knew Skippy came from or thereabouts as he could have been next door.
Basically what I am saying is is it important to you as the consumer where you know the product has come from or do you just shop purely on price?
Would love to know your responses to this as this is part two of the business plan. Cheers, Charlie.
I'm also surprised how many eat roo but not my cup of tea.
Charlie, check the net, there's a few guys selling roo meat online but don't seem to be pushing the standards you propose. Here's a few:

Kangaroos (macropods) are indigenous to Australia with 4 out of the 48 species being harvested on a commercial basis. To protect and control their numbers the population is monitored by Australian government conservation agencies, who issue annual quotas for harvesting as part of their Government Kangaroo Management Program. This is an excellent example of how the partnership between conservation and exotic meat production works, as Kangaroo numbers are now greater than ever before. This is a direct result of the improvements made in food and water supplies. Kangaroos are only harvested from primary producing regions, with no animals being harvested from National Parks or Conservation areas. All our Kangaroo meat is sourced from establishments which have an Australian Standard approved Quality Assurance System, Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point program in place and are regularly audited by Government approved Inspectors.
