Angaston, South Australia: You, too, can own a kangaroo

March 25, 2020 Jim 1 Comment

Jamie and I have often wished we owned enough land to “run a herd of ‘roos” (as they might say in Texas). According to this map, they’re illegal in most states, but we’re good to go in Tejas. All we need is a permit. Sorry, Californians, you’re out of luck.

But about that permit. Which bureaucratic can of spaghetti do you dive into to get a kangaroo permit? The Texas Department of Kangaroos? The Marsupial Management Authority? The Kangaroo Commission?

And then there’s this: Jamie reminded me that male kangaroos get really big and really vicious. And when I say big, I mean “looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger jacked up on steroids” big. Here’s a real, unretouched photo of Roger, Australia’s most famous male kangaroo.

Maybe one dog and two cats is really all we need.

    And Roger’s arms don’t compare to how strong his legs are.
