EATING KANGAROO COULD HELP FIGHT GLOBAL WARMING

It had been a very hot first day Hari raya and spent most of the time watching TV and surfing the internet. I went for an early walk at the Jogging track at Bukit Padang around 4.00 pm but alas there were a lot of people there already. I spent about more than an hour walking around the jogging track which covered 6.3 KM.



Today, the 2nd day of Hari Raya also a very hot day but at least windy although the sun is so bright. I read in the newspaper today regarding a suggestion by an Australian scientist to eat Kangaroo to fight global warming. It was said that the belching and farting of millions of farm animals is a major contributor to gas emissions.




Kangaroos, on the other hand, emit negligible amounts of methane gas. In the report livestock, mainly cattle and sheep are responsible for some 67% of agricultural greenhouse gas emissions.




Well, it would be nice to eat Kangaroo’s meat if it will help reduce global warming but finding the meat here in Malaysia must be hard to get. Secondly, how many people dare to eat kangaroo’s meat?
