Some of the abbreviated local, national and international media releases, 13 May 2007, http://canberra.yourguide.com.au/news/local/general/plan-for-three-days-of-death /584324.html, 14 May 2007, http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/05/14/world/main2799551.shtml?source=RSSattr =HOME_2799551, 20 May 2007, http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200705/s1927723.htm, http://www.spa.gov.sa/English/details.php?id=452929, http://news.monstersandcritics.com/asiapacific/news/printer_1309191.php, 25 May 2007, and again this year, 7 March 2008, when the unnecessary cruel killing was again being pushed by the Local Jon Stanhope Government, http://www.abcscience.net.au/news/stories/2008/03/07/2182771.htm, that exposed a plan by the Department of Defence and the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) Government to cruelly butcher up to 3,200 Kangaroos at two Defence sites in the ACT, in May 2007, which received, not only local, but national and international publicity.
This false population advertised of our native Eastern Grey Kangaroos was exposed by Nora Preston from the Wildlife Carers Group, when her investigations into the cruel, unnecessary cull, population, site inspections, etc. disclosed that the population was actually calculated by using what was thought to be the entire macropod population in Australia, which is unreliable.
The macropod population is always grossly over exaggerated by the commercial roo industry, farmers, etc.
In May 2007 approximately 100 kangaroos were sighted on the BNTS Site.
March 2008 has shown a drop in the 100 kangaroos originally sighted in May 2007, only sighting approx. 20.
A dramatically lower number was also sighted on the Majura Site, than what was led to believe by the Defence Application to Cull Eastern Grey Kangaroos.
The false and misleading information given in May 2007 were to 'save' the kangaroos from starving and to prevent them from competing with certain endangered grassland species reported to be on these sites - Striped Legless Lizard, Grassland Earless Dragon and the Golden Sun Moth, which later included the Ginninderra Peppercress native grassland, and Perunga Grasshopper.
Our observation showed that the Eastern Grey Kangaroos and other wildlife species on this site are coexisting harmoniously.
The cause for certain native flora and fauna species being wiped out is due to leaking buried toxic waste and the spraying of toxic sprays to kill the weeds on both defence sites.

BNTS is a 136.8 hectare site with currently under 100 Eastern Grey Kangaroos trapped by a 2.5 metre high kangaroo proof secure fence inside a 116ha site at the decommissioned Belconnen Naval Transmission Station (BNTS).
In 5 July 2007, the summit exposed the fact that the decommissioned BNTS site was actually proposed for housing development, with the site being handed over to the ACT Government for FREE.
The Eastern Grey Kangaroos are healthy, therefore, to go ahead with this cull, or relocation of the kangaroos is unnecessary, an act of cruelty, and in breach of the animal welfare act.
Freelance photographer Ray Drew (photograph on this petition) has been documenting the process of the cull, with his daily photographs.
The licence for the cull expired in July 2007, with an application to cull being misleading and misinforming, thereby being null and void.
This petition is to demand the relocation of the housing development onto another site set aside for an International Arboretum and Gardens Project, thereby saving all the kangaroos on the site, and turning the site into a city Kangaroo Park and Wildlife Sanctuary, and to amend the current ACT Wildlife Rehabilitation Licence for the full term rehabilitation of our sick, injured, orphaned native Eastern Grey Kangaroos, an omission of the licence only applying in the ACT, compared to the rest of Australia.
The Kangaroo Park and Wildlife Sanctuary will house ALL the existing Eastern Grey Kangaroos, and kangaroo proof fencing, along with the largest Wildlife Hospital with a public viewing surgery, educational facility, rehabilitation facility, cafes, viewing platforms, extra enclosures for the rehabilitation of the sick, injured, orphaned native Eastern Grey Kangaroos, and other native wildlife, and will prove to be a very successful tourist attraction, increasing tourism to the ACT, preventing the need to cruelly and unnecessarily cull, or relocate any of the kangaroos.
The International Arboretum and Gardens project has been allocated to one of the sites that was wiped out by the ACT bush fires in 2003, rather than the government replanting our native flora, (food source) to assist with the survival of our native fauna, which is rather irresponsible.
The International Arboretum and Gardens project will prove devastating to our native flora and fauna by the pollens carried throughout the ACT and surrounding NSW, wiping out our native flora and fauna, if it isn't abandoned.

Petition:
We, the undersigned, call on the Government of the Australian Capital Territory and Prime Minister of Australia to withdraw their proposed, cruel and unnecessary cull of our native Eastern Grey Kangaroos, on the BNTS Site, to relocate the housing development onto the International Arboretum and Gardens site, turn the site into a city Kangaroo Park and Wildlife Sanctuary.

Amend the ACT Wildlife Rehabilitation Licence to reinstate sick, injured, orphaned Native Eastern Grey Kangaroos for full term rehabilitation.
